Hi,
I purchased a titanium Begleiter (framelock) back in Sept. and only took it out a couple of times (hasn't even cut anything...my knives are mainly for tactical emergencies).
It flipped open like a dream at first, but when I came home after its third outing...the blade was stuck (or locked) in the closed position. What I noticed was that the lockbar had moved even closer to the blade than before, thereby making any detent virtually impossible.
I'm a relative newbie when it comes to knives, so I figured best to contact Kizer for warranty service. They responded saying they could send me a replacement handle, which I find a bit strange. There's obviously some kind of manufacturing defect...here's a video I made illustrating the problem:
I've only opened an EDC once...would a new handle (with framelock) solve this ?
