try putting some grease, like reel grease, in the cavity where the torsion bar sits. Its helped me in the past. I guess what happens is the bar works its way out a little and rubs the handle.

I for one think that's horrible not to mention the fact that it's EXTREAMLY hard to stab a shark underwater unless your on the bottom and then they wont attack because they are afraid they might run into the bottom.

It's pretty close, the D-fly is a lot lighter but my pinkie finger feels better on the robin. I carry my G-10 robin more then my D-fly mostly cause it clips in my pocket better and if a non knife person borrows it Im not as worried if they mess it up

When it tries to boot does it BSOD? If so boot from the WinXP install disk then reinstall windows. It will ask you if you want to format or repair the current installation and you should repair.
