Got the standard FRN plus a Sharpmaker - pleasantly surprised. The Native is a nice solid piece - but super stiff to open. Is that the same for you guys as well? I'm hoping that as I play with it more, it'll loosen up a bit. Can't flick it open like an axis lock...

8Zero8If it's still stiff try putting a high-viscosity grease (I actually just used coconut oil but there's certainly better options) on the rounded back of the blade where it rubs up against the lock. There'll be quite a bit of black residue where the metal has worn down as you break it in; I cleaned it off with a q-tip a few times and greased it again. Flicks like a champ now, although as a few others have noted it is a bit small in the hand. I like the ergonomics with the finger choil, just not when it's closed.
