I have purchased and used Gerber products for twenty years, and I have not had this experience. With a roller bearing and plenty of energy stored in the closed spring, I expected a push on the thumb pad and this knofe would snap smartly into open lock. But the blade was pushed against the inside of the handle so tightly it was almost not possible to move.I figured there was some small glitch in assembly I could correct. I had a small modification I wanted to make (not likely to be of interest to anyone but me), a a teardown would be the best way to clean any grit generated. I did not find an obvious problem. My assembly produced the original condition. I though my modification would make a return awkward, so I bent the handle side out for the needed clearance.Nice design. Opens like a small automatic. It is an otherwise high quality knife and inexpensive. Makes me wonder about offshore manufacture. Hope mine is the only one with a problem. I like the knife.
