New Switchblade...Might Have an Issue

I love the knife, but it doesn't open all the way without a little help from a wrist flick. The spring seems fine, but I noticed this and thought it may be a factor. I've oiled it as well. Maybe filing a bit down would help?

How tightly is the blade peened?

Loosen it a little bit by moving the blade side to side.

No idea what lube you used but if it wasn't "QUICK RELEASE" get some, amazing juice. Also try YouTube remedys re tight pivot. One inserting a utility blade between blade and bolster works well.

Used some Spot On versa oil. Gotta get some Quick Release.

Bunnymud is that one of those new picklocks? How straight is your blade whrn locked open ,as it looks like the lock isnt closing well,but filing you have to be careful as you could end up with a backwards banana.If it were me i would stone it so it closes wwll and looks nice.
