Kizer Ki3480 Rogue Frame Lock Knife

I have this knife and the liner lock has never worked correctly. I literally have to push it into a locked position. It's like the end if the blade or the top of the lock weren't milled down far enough. Thought at first this would naturally wear and get better but it hasn't. Anything I can do?

Hey everyone. Thanks for the interest in the Kizer Rogue. There are bits and pieces of the story on flat grind version and hollow grind. The very first Rogue was flat grind. It had a curve yo the spine of the blade V1. There were issues with keeping the blade edge straight. After some discussions with Kizer and based on my experience I asked for the blade to be hollow ground with straight spine. Also a change to the lock V2. This did allow the blade to get really sharp but the curved edge was still an issue. So, I requested we go back to a flat grind and keep the straight spine and updated handle V3. Hopong that we could gind a solution for the curved edge. It was my understanding the V3 wouldn't be seeing production until mid 2018. To be clear, there is no functional problem with any of these knives. As a maker and designer, I prefer a flat ground blade for wharncliffe knives. The milled clips are an add on and not an indication of a design change to the knife it self. Thanks everyone!

I received my Kizer Rogue exactly as pictured. The blade is hollow ground, and a very nice addition to my hoard because: it is the only nice hollow ground blade I own, it is S35VN, and a really aggressive warnecliff blade shape. Amazing amount of knife for a great price. The detail on the scales is good, I can't see how anybody wouldn't like any of the various scale designs. The hollow grind does shave a few grams off the package, which is nice because the spine of this knife is quite robust. It opens very slick, and has broken in nicely. Thanks MD!
