Well that killed that conversation. Just call me Al the thread killer
I'll never own a knife that I can't open with cold and/or wet hands.
There's always one. A pocket knife with a blade or tool that just won't open easily;that won't open even if you tear out your thumb nail trying. What do you do? What's the cure?
I just get rid of it. I learned a long time ago, that they never get any better, and to just move on. This is why I only buy knives from a store where I can examine it. I don't buy on internet or mail order. Besides, the mom and pop brick and mortar stores need to be supported. In the end, it's worth it. I'll never own a knife that I can't open with cold and/or wet hands.
