Re: 4x latching problems

I have found that locking open problems occur when the tang pin or cups get deformed a little. Just enough to affect the opened/locked position. My Closed/Locking problems are because the little square part on the blade right before the blade edge (the only part of the sharp side of the blade that touches the bite handle) starts to dig into the Ti after a while leaving a little divot. In turn, causing a little latching problems on the other end. I fixed my closed/locked issue with a thin piece of sheet metal and sanded it down thinner, ever so slightly, and JB welded it into the bite handle position where the divot is. Locks closed like a champ. I had to do it to my 40T and my newest 42. It was a user before I got it. The more you use your bali, the more wear it is gonna have.
