Got my new Slysz Bowie today. Love everything about it, but I'm very disappointed with something on it that I haven't experienced on a frame lock folder before: the lockup is very rough. The action is glassy smooth, but when I release the frame lock (which locks up at about 60%), there's a very audible grittiness over the entire pass. It doesn't stick (as I've experienced before with my Para 3), but it's fairly rough when the surfaces pass over each other. I've been breaking it in all evening and have actuated it well over a hundred times. Haven't noticed the grittiness subsiding. I cleaned the surfaces as well but that didn't seem to help. Everything else about this knife is perfect, even better than I imagined, but I didn't expect to have that kind of rough lockup release from a knife of this caliber, which is disappointing and has diminished the otherwise positive experience.
Has anyone else experienced the same with their Slysz Bowie? Any remedies? Should I sent it back? Thanks in advance for any replies.
