That's the bad part. My brother and I have been touting this knife to my dad for months and it has got to be right.

Inspired by Tricod but not really ready to take apart a knife with a ball lock I picked up some fine emory cloth, I got mine at lowes for a few bucks and it comes in a pack with coarse, medium and fine. I found the cloth firm enough where you could fold in and lightly polish this area with the knife...

I did notice that on my dodo the back part of the blade that contacts the ball is much more narrow than on the Phoenix, which is the full width of the blade. Now I know the ball only contacts that center piece but I was just comparing the two and it's the only visable difference I could find.

Keep it away from prolonged salt water and always dry it off at night. If you EDC it you'll never have a problem, use the heck out of it!!

sticky ball lock on new Phoenix

I just got a new phoenix and I love this knife! I notice though that the ball lock is hard to slide back unless you spinn the ball a little. My question is will this break in or do I have one that is too tight?
