Right out of the box, my Kizer Vanguard Begleiter's action was very stiff, to the point that I cut myself when bearing down on the thumbstud, since the downwards force of my fingers pushed straight into the blade path when the blade finally moved. Luckily, the knife was not that sharp (out of the box). I decided to disasemble the knife and try to improve it by removing some of the black paint on the blade that's causing the extra friction with the washers. Being new at all of this, I can't get the knife back together. (There's no @NickShabazz video on this one, it seems.)Where can I go for help short of just buying a brand new one? Is there someone I can send the pieces to who can lubricate the knife, reconstruct it, and send it back to me?
