Well, my thumb is now several layers thicker !
Several days of treatment with Tuf-Glide, PTFE grease on spring and retaining clip. PTFE dry spray on pivot and blade area and Tuf Cloth on blade...Whew!
Ok, after about 200 practice firings, I am happy to state that I can now trigger this knife 99% of the time with no problems and the 1% is because I do not press quite hard enough in the RIGHT place!
Am I happy! You bet!
In hindsight, this knife did need a little breaking in. The Tuf Glide helped a lot and the re-greaseing of this knife on a regular basis is a very good idea. I have found a 'sweet' spot now and my thumb can take a lot more presure! All in all I am VERY happy with this knife. No wobble, sharp as hell, great balence and fab build quality.
Anyone considering getting one, GET ONE!
Whats more it took a two foot drop, and while the blade popped out partly, the thing did NOT fire on me! Wow!
Cool! I think I can now trust this knife not to dry fire on me or go rogue on me in pocket!
Cheers Mike and all those who helped me!
