Mine needed lubed a bit too. The brass in the hinge was so tight it wouldn't always fully open (I used a little Rem-oil, I'm sure there are better options for that?). The Frank B. knives may be comparable in the more-expensive models, but in the $120-150 range the Campolins have better materials and seem to receive more attention to detail. Mind you, these are opinions formed by handling exactly two knives.
