So I just bought this spyderco para 3 lightweight spy27. And it’s completely functional but the action feels really „stiff“ when moving the blade.

Is this normals or should I send it back?

    Did you check the pivot screw tightness?

    They can arrive stiff, or at least go stiff the first day. I find I need to take them apart and oil things up/polish the washers in 80% of cases.

    I just got a brand new para 3 and mine was a tad stiff/gritty as well. I took it apart, cleaned everything with alcohol and then very lightly dropped a tad of ballistol on the pivot and under the washers. Reassembled and adjusted the pivot – it’s night and day
