Disappointed !!!!!!! - Case Kickstart Assisted Opening Mid-Folding Hunter Knife

The kickstart assit feature is really disappointing. I have bought 2 of these knives and both arrived to me being very tight and not functioning as promised. I sent the first one back to Case and returned better but not great. The 2nd knife seems a bit tighter than the first & I may have to return it too, but not expecting it to be much better. I have bought cheap foreign assited knives that work much better.
