Read the Owners Guide sticky for centering via Rachel Emerson.
As far as sticky locks, I can't figure out why everyone has such an issue. But if it is, graphite or sharpy on the tang will make the interface more slippery.
To me, a sticky lock is all the more secure. That's why Michael Walker used titanium in the first place.

Amen to this. I'm on my second Emerson, and in both cases lock stick has gone away during the brief breaking-in period.
Personally, I don't mind a small amount of lock-stick. That shows that the lock is solidly engaged & won't slip.
I rarely do the sharpie or pencil graphic trick unless the stick is really bad. The very first Emerson I ever bought was a good example of that.
That knife (a Super 7) stuck so badly I needed a flat head screwdriver to release the lock after a wave opening LOL.
