Knife showed up with a VERY strong odor of mildew, told myself maybe its the fabrication oil they used? Anyway sat down and started playing with the flipper.... flip open.... one hand close.... repeat to get the muscle memory going. So, after 20 - 25 cycles the flipper has become very hard to start moving and when it starts it most likely wont result in a fully opened blade. I've reached out to customer service, will report back.
JonasOI was offered a $25 credit so I kept the knife. After some time it's "free'd" itself and works smoothly as it should. I'll confess that this is a small knife however it's turned into my ED in-pocket carry and I'm loving it!
