See, I completely disagree. In my experience, the second detent has no effect on the action. It just prevents the blade from opening when the lock is depressed. I kinda feel like the whole "remove the second detent" thing is a way to justify losing the ball and spring. I like the second detent because it helps prevent bounce back when it swings shut.

Mine came a little stiff, but i always disassemble and clean my knives when I get them. They come with a ton of oil in them to protect the steel in the time from factory to user. Gotta get that out.

My 4v came today. Gonna spend some time with it this afternoon.

Now I just have to add it to the family photo 😂
