Trouble opening Sebenza

I've read countless comments that the only flaw with a Sebenza is that the thumbstud is too pointy, or that it is too hard to open. I was playing with my large Micarta today (which I have no trouble opening whatsoever) and I realized that people may have this problem because they may push against the lockbar when they try to open the knife. This creates pressure on the blade, and, at least in my case, it made the blade much, much harder to open, almost to where my thumb started to hurt.

To prevent this pressure on the blade, I rest my pinky, ring finger, and middle finger on the clip, and have my index finger loosely on the lockbar (not applying any inward pressure, just helping to balance the knife in my hands).

Hopefully this will work for some people.
