Loosening up a stiff Swiss Army knife

[@puzzlering1]

A lovely wee snap at the end there Steve, as the blade clicks into the open position, great work Thanks for the mention 🤗 Sam

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@tommymoffat5633]

What a transformation Steve. It’s amazing what a little touch of oil could do

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Simple really, but now as good as new.

[@davidlarkham8954]

Not oil!! WD40!!

[@edranft4071]

You can make anything interesting, Steve! 😮

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Thanks Ed.

[@petermetaxas9696]

Same situation with a SAK I just bought for $4 CDN. I’ve sprayed it once but will do it again because it is still very stiff

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Hope it works for you.

[@davidlarkham8954]

Steve man, that knife has more rust on it than Stoke City's trophy cabinet!!

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Now, now David I remember when Stoke won a cup!!!

[@faithg9766]

Dear goodness I was holding my breath as you were fighting with that blade. Mercifully the WD40 did its job.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Should have doe it years ago, before it had become so stiff.

[@Eduardo-vd8kk]

Usted y el aceite lo han vencido. 😅 Yo tengo uno igual, suizo, apenas estrenado, que me regaló nuestro hijo cuando empezó a trabajar sobre los 18 años, ahora tiene 46 y espero no tener el mismo problema para abrirlo. 😂 Gracias y saludos Steve.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Está como nuevo ahora.

[@dianeleahy3345]

Made me cringe watching you do this. Thanks Steve.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Ended well though.

[@chrisfinch2807]

Open all the tools on the knife and give it a good spray with wd40, be as good as new.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

That's what I did in the end and it is back to the way it should be.

[@moemenlahbib5262]

what if its too loose ?

[@melwhite6151]

Good old WD40!🤣

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

That tin must be 20 years old!!!

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

wow!

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

And it still works perfectly.

[@Kzar-9605]

Please do NOT use WD-40 it will sieze in time and is not a sufficient lubricant. Just use food safe mineral oil.

[@SteveandAnitainMallorca]

Thank for the tip. It is still working fine.
