How long have you had it? We’re it mine I’d clean the pivot area with dish soap and warm water, working the blade open and closed to make sure and contamination was removed then blow the pivot dry and lubricate. See if that helps before you make any adjustments to the pivot which you should be able to adjust with the correct bit. IIRC they are a Torx but don’t recall the size. HTH
