Hate to say it…
…but this is a miss. Took a chance on an inexpensive American made knife but it’s a bit of a dud. Nice looking and good steel but where it falls short is the whole pivot area, from the blade to the lock bar and everything in between. Very crunchy with lots of abrasive contact points. Makes it difficult to open. I’ve already disassembled and tried to help it out but can’t remove the pivot screw anchor due to it being bent. It’s not worth sending back so I’ll keep it.
