Went to open it yesterday and it was locked shut tighter then the north end of a southbound gnat!!
Couldn't open it pulling on the thumb studs.
Couldn't open it prying on it with a SAK screwdriver blade!!!
Finally went to the shop and blew it out with an air hose, and still couldn't open it.
Finally used a screwdriver and small Tappy-Tap hammer under the thumb stud and it popped open.
Blew it out again and flushed it out, and it worked fine again.
Then went out to eat, and reached for it to trim the gristle off my steak, and it was locked up tight again.
Pried it open when I got home and flushed it out again with WD-40, and it's working fine again.
Must have been a grain of sand or something stuck in it somewhere??
Probably take it clear apart when I get time and give it a factory fresh cleaning.
(Having been inside several Leek's, I can't imagine how anything anywhere in one could lock it solid shut like that?)
