New SR1-A hard to open

[axarob44]

I tried adjusting the pivot bolt to loosen up the blade. But, with the bolt loose the blade is still tight. Anyone have this problem? I Have spent some time opening and closing this knife to try to loosen it up a bit, still not much difference. I oiled it too, same.

mine came the same way I spend a fair chunk of time opening and closing and its been slowly getting better. they milled the handle to some pretty tight tolerances just keep at it and it will loosen up

Yep, I've had a couple and both were tight. Just keep playing with it and it loosen up a little.

Btw, that's why I now carry a Lionspy and sold off the SR1-A's. It's a lot easier with the spydie hole.
