weak spring ?

[rprocter]

i have a Queen mountain man lockback in 1095 and stag. when closed, the blade will not fall open, but it can be opened with a very light grip. it locks in place solidly and passes a gentle to moderate spine whack test. is it usual for a lockback to open so easily ? is this a sign of a weak spring ? if so, does this mean the lockback is not as solid as it should be ?
i have other Queen's (non locking) with weak springs. those blades open and CLOSE with minimal pressure. in comparison, all my Cases have strong reassuring springs.

I've the same knife, and mine is normal when it comes to tension. You may want to try cleaning the pivot- sometimes crud makes the detent a bit weak.
