I've a CT bought new.

 Just how sharp should the teeth be?

The front ones are fairly smooth whilst the rear deep inside are really very sharp.

Now I have a problem in getting the CT to open.

I've been trapped several times, one painfully with cramp, totally unable to free the rope.

I've had to remove it instead.

I had also plucked my rope in a few places.

I'll not attack it with a file or paper for fear of making burrs.

 So tonight I'm looking to find the smoothest and easiest ascender to use and open.

Try sliding it up a little when trying to release.  The teeth can imbed in the rope at an angle when loaded, sliding up it pops them out.
