How to fix Lock Stick on a Spyderco Pocketknife - PM2, Para 3, Military 2 Compression Lock Cleaning

This is a DIY guide on how to fix the Lock Stick on pocketknives with a special focus on Spyderco folders with a Compression Lock mechanism.

Spyderco invented their proprietary Compression Lock as a direct improvement over the conventional liner lock. Spyderco's innovation gave us a mechanism that is a lot stronger and a lot safer compared to liner locks. However, the sophistication of the Compression Lock comes with a big tradeoff - as this improved mechanism has a high tendency to develop a phenomenon that the knife community commonly knows as "lock stick".

Since Spyderco's signature Compression Lock has a very unique philosophy it also requires a special approach to fix - that this video DIY guide explains in greater detail. The video is illustrated by four different Spyderco pocketknives - the PM2, the Para 3, the Military 2, and the Yojimbo 2.
