release question
Oops, posted this in blade pictures by mistake...
Hello!
I recently purchased a tactical stiletto, and the release mechanism is very tight forcing me to apply pressure to the blade for release, rather than gravity taking it's course.
Is there anything I can do to ease this, as it's not what I'm used to with most of my pick locks?
This is the same knife I purchased:

Ahhhh, I see. Told you guys I'm a pup here ;)
I purchased a knife for personal protection reasons, being in downtown Chicago and what not, but quickly fell in love with the history and art behind these. But I digress.
I guess this video is somewhat moot, but why not: http://www.riven.net/~moose/mov01641.mpg

Missa
I think he knows it's a swival and when he goes to push up on the bolster it doesn't quite come out of the tab hole so he then has to pull up on hte blade. At least thats what I think he is saying. Missa I have tons of pics of 40 and 41 willeys they are one of my favorites since Doug Stone ran one if you want I can direct some you way.

Stone Woods Cook 41 Willys Give me a Warm feeling.
The 40 dodge i sold last year made me realize ya can't see a friggin thing
when your inside one. I spent 7 years rebuilding that car from a piece of scrap metal to a 383 powered terror.
It may look cool and haul ass, but I NEVER felt comfortable driving it anywhere but the track.
And I hate trailer queens
Not to be confused with display queens, Or Queens on the block...
