Burs have always given me trouble but today they are taking on a new incarnation!
Recently I received a knife with a crossbar lock. The action on the lock is a bit tight, and it has exceedingly sharp and painful studs.
I like getting to know my knives and breaking in the action by fidgeting with them, but in this case the crossbar studs are sharp as hell and preventing me from repeatedly opening and closing the knife to my satisfaction
My question is, have you ever run into this and if so, what steps did you take to remedy it? So far the only thing that comes to mind is possibly stropping it but I'm game for whatever helps.
