Yeah the blade pivots easily to close
I took the spring out and it is the old kind with single spring
Just doesn't have quite enough oomph
Its interesting that if the knife is warm this doesn't seem to happen

Re: Screwed up Mikov

Folks

Even after trying a few different lubes, the knife still tends to hang up occasionally.
I found that Tri-lube seems to do about the best job overall.
Once the Mikov fires a few times its OK, but first time out it won't quite open completely
Possibly weak spring ?

Thanks for the advice
I flushed with more wd40 and applied a drop of 3 in 1 oil and now have a smelly
but smoother opening Mikov

Re: Screwed up my Mikov

Hi

I've lubed my Leverlettos with silicone spray and never had a problem
I suspect there is something different about the Mikov springs or weight of the blade maybe
