Between the lock stick and the corrosion, I'd have said send it to W&R before the regrind but I don't think they'd be able to do much now. :p
I do agree with the idea that it would be better with a FFG. I personally like the stonewashed finish; at least it's not bead-blasted which would be even worse. Does anyone know if these are acid treated before the stonewash?
My lockstick evolves. One day, it is gone, the next it's there. It has not been consistent and I still have to fight it some days. The lockbar face has even eroded a little. I think it is quite dependent on blade centering on this model. Those with the really bad lock stick may have had off-center blades...
Today, she is smooth as butter. We shall see about tomorrow... :rolleyes:
