I just fixed one of these today for a friend. His had almost totally seized from hard use followed by neglect. Pulled it apart and found a half inch pad of accumulated link in it. Works perfect now. Pretty snappy.
I was having the same problem with my 3550 mel pardue and after taking apart to clean I cannot get the auto button to work properly. After pushing the button to eject the blade the knife does not go into a locked position. Any ideas? Thx
No. This knife is an automatic, and in multiple states, only aloud to be owned by military and law enforcement, and should be kept away from kids. And common sense should tell you that the lock is so the push button isn't accidentally pressed. You're familiar with the safety on a firearm, correct? It wasn't made so that kids couldn't use it. It was made to avoid the firearm accidentally going off.

I have something similar to that. It does kick really hard. Like the blade will go backwards on you. Lol

ya i was pretty surprised, my new zt 0300 doesnt even kick as hard, probably because it weights a 1/2 pound lol
The spring broke on mine.
What is the comparison knife
BM Adamas 375 BK, its been sold since then.
common sense says that the lock is so kids can't open it...
