Tight Axis lock on Grip

[HuntersHikes]

Hey folks...have a full-size Grip, the 551S, and the last month or so I've noticed that opening & closing the knife is kind of a struggle...the lock mechanism seems really tight and despite oiling it and adjusting the torx screws, nothing works...thoughts? Should it go back to benchmade to be serviced?

Try blowing the axis areas out with compressed air ? Maybe theres some furbage caught up in the mechanism.

Are you adept at taking it apart yourself ?
