      The WD-40 thing is more for solvency than lubrication.  Dave's instructions on the bearings at least is to do a soak in that and then rinse and lube, IIRC.

      I hit it with alcohol this morning and it was really nice, I'll lube the detent when I get some better oil in and see if that gets it.

      Thanks guys!  I really don't want to send the damn thing in.

      Think it, be it.

        Do what works mac, it may get smoother over time as well. Yeah, sending it in would be a hassle…Sure hope
        you don't have to go that route.

          Yeah I don't think it's a "wear in" thing because it was smooth before and is intermittently so now. Guessing lubing the detent ball and track will get it done!

          Today, a Case Russlock:

                Shonuff. This was D's blade previously. Love each of the killer Cases I got from him and rotate them with my tacticals. Meaning I'm usually carrying a Case.

                Russlock is a novel one handed liner lock folding knife.

                  You know…I think I'm going to pick up one of those this coming weekend if I can find it here. Love the
                  design and blade.

                    Smart move. It's a great edc. The one handed opening took me a few tries to master; firm detent. Great blade once you get it down.

                    I hit the F3 with isopropyl this morning and I think that cleared up the detent issue. Smooth again and it seems to be staying that way.

                    Think it, be it.

                              That would be a little conspicuous to open carry, no?
