I sprung it more towards the non-locking side, so the opposite direction of unlocking it(I think that would be called inwards).
I just used thumb pressure to get the amount of bend required.
I would recommend going in small increments of bend, so you don't end up with it too stiff to unlock. You could always bend it back to make it less stiff if you go too far, but the less bending involved, the better.:thumbup:
Thanks for that. I had just sent CRK an e-mail on easily spine tapped Umnuum closing, then I did some digging on forums. Found this and tried it. What do you know? Now tight and no slippage. Still think the tiny contact point of hard ceramic on softer metal is somewhat worrisome but after the lock bend, seems good to go. Thanks again. A quick fix making the knife near perfect. Time will tell about the ball wear. I presume it'll just settle in and that's that.
And know that CRK is the cat's meow when it comes to customer service. Without going into detail, the company, the man, and the product are top shelf. A++
