Hi Blombardi, sounds like your OTF is dirty inside. Common issue. Some may suggest oiling it, but I took mine apart and dried all the gunk build-up that it came with. Put it back together dry and used no oil. Did this on multiple cheaper OTFs. No issues since. The internal mechanism is not that complicated at all. Just, when taking it apart, be careful no tiny spring jumps across the room.

Thank you julesVane will take it apart in the morning but as I said before I just got the knife today brand new maybe opened an closed it 20 times then it started happening . But first thing tomarrow I will do as you said and hope problem is resolved

The ones I've had to open up were pretty gunked up inside, brand new. Who knows how long they sit on a shelf? Good luck!

Sounds good thanks for the help

Before you take it apart check the warranty.

Before you take it apart check the warranty.

...Very true! I was thinking more on the lines of a cheaper OTF. If it's a $400 Microtech, please disregard my thoughts and seek a pro.
