what is the proper way to break in a CRK

My 25 was pretty good but it was already disassembled prior to getting it. I actually like the big beefy pivot. It is so precise and machined so well that the very moment it starts to "stick" when tightening is the exact sweet spot for pivot tension. It is rock solid and swings freely with no "adjustment" necessary. It flicks open easily and "fluidly" with a good technique. It was like that when I got it and hasn't changed, no break in necessary. Maybe I got lucky? I would guess that my experience is the norm though.
 
I got my first Sebenza, a small Rosewood, around 2 weeks ago. What I did was put a drop of break free on the ball detent and taped up the blade. Then I just opened and closed the blade with 2 hands while watching tv. Took around 2 days and now the action is as smooth as butter :). I do this will all my new knives that I plan on carrying.
 
Thanks guys for all the great suggestions, after a week of use and play, its really buttery smooth. :) the problem is....now I want another one!
