There were some discussions around here when the knife first came out. You might try doing a search. To be honest, it's a pretty obvious modification once you look at the kit.

Thanks, I fitted everythingup, ceramic stone polished all the bearing surfaces, put it together without the spring, lock worked,blade opened and closed fine.
Then I took it all apart, fitted the spring,etc. Then I put the blade on the pivot and spring, when I tried to preload the spring, when I got the blade around to about 90 degrees, the spring deformed, made a really nice egg shape in the spring, and the spring also deformed up and moved the blade about 3/16th up.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Does anybody have lock designs that do not take a CNC machine to build them?
Txs,
