Lock stick on Subvert

[SilvaSpyder]

Has anyone else had a problem with the lock getting stuck on the subvert? Once I flip the blade open I most times have to use two hands to pop the bar back over in order to close it. I wasn’t sure if it was a common problem maybe because of lack of steel insert and it being titanium. Thanks

I haven’t owned a Subvert, but every knife I’ve had that had a Ti locking bar without a steel insert feels really “sticky” at first and eases up after some use. I actually got rid of a DPX Gear knife because after it eased up, the lock up felt like it wasn’t as solid as it should have been. I hope this helps.
