Thanks @BLKWLFK9 ive been doing that. Put some oil on the friction area where the button release and blade ride but the button will still stick till right before it releases. I think it’s the tension that the blade spring it putting on the button because if I push the blade back into the grip the button is smoother. Might have to send it back.
TSA guy got a free Benchmade AO from me last week.
Usually I have a checked pelican for work. This time I didn't so I forgot it was in my backpack.it was only 3 months old☹

Santa brought me to a mini Osborne to go along with my Mediator
That sucks man. I went to Vegas and back a few years ago with a cheapo gas station knife clipped to my back pack the whole time. Got home and went.....oh.... 3 diffrent airports.
My oldest Benchmade just happens to be my prettiest. It's my "dress" knife, and I don't get all gussied up that often...
This gets the most carry. I used it on my last deployment in Iraq 04-06. Due to it's light weight, this is the one that get hauled around the house in my gym shorts pocket...
Meant to be some kind of scary weapon, I find the super easy one handed open/close of that big button, and having two edges, makes this the perfect utility knife.
I wouldnt have picked it up off the ground if I found it lol. Would not have hesitated to throw it in the trash.
Anyone get hands on a meat crafter? I've got one of the fixed blade skinners that is my main kill processing knife, but you can never have too many.
Are there any first-hand comments about the Benchmade Mini Stimulus (3551) automatic? There's one sitting down at our local hardware/ranch supply store.
Benchmade Mini Stimulus Auto
For the past 4-5 years, my EDC has been a Benchmade 470 Emissary AXIS-assisted opening and I've been quite pleased with it. (Before this was yet another Benchmade.)
Benchmade 470 Emissary
The problem, if you will, is my arthritis that sometimes kicks up enough that I can't open the blade with one hand. So I thought I'd try another auto. The Stimulus appears to have a convenient safety, something I appreciate having had a couple very sharp autos open in my pocket.
Thank you,
Richard
