[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2366599, member: 229"] So, I couldn't leave well enough alone and ended up de-assisting this 0566 (and cleaned/polished the washers/surface while I was in there and lubed it with some Lucas Assembly Lube). Action is like glass, perfectly centered, and locks up like a bank vault (with a nice Thwak). This knife is now perfect except for one minor complaint. The surface on the inner part of the lock-bar (the part your thumb contacts with when opening the knife) is angled, slick, and the edges have been smoothed which would be awesome except you typically need to get a good purchase with your thumb to move over a lock-bar on a frame lock (and with an SS frame lock over a Ti version - it seems to be even stiffer). I'm considering roughing up this one area if I can do so evenly and make it look good. The shape is perfect, it's just slick. Part of the problem might also be that my fingers are sore from repeated opening/closing for break-in (and the fact that this is a super-entertaining knife to play with). So far, I'm way more impressed with this knife than I thought I would be. Got one last order of knives coming in today, so we'll see how that goes (most are gifts, but I always "ensure quality" before giving them out :D ). [/QUOTE]
