Just got this Case TB62028. The knife is in great shape but has poor closing and opening
snap.
How do you fix this?

Re: Case TB62028 Mint condition, but poor snap
Most modern Case knives will pick up some snap by getting the gunk flushed out of the joints; use an old toothbrush, scrub under hot water using Dawn dish soap - it's a grease cutter, once dry (use a hair dryer) try oiling the joint and working the blades . But most new Case knives don't have the snap they had in the old days - some are decent, but you don't find many Gator Snappers anymore from Case. OH

Send it back to Case,they should fix it ,if it's real slow.That's an expensive knife to have problems.

Re: Case TB62028 Mint condition, but poor snap
That new Case Trapper I recently bought for EDC was setting open In the display case was a 2008.
It had been open for 7 years. It was extremely stiff, I used some Benchmade lube on it and it loosened right up. Maybe that might help you a bit. ftd

I flushed the knife with 70 % isopropyl alcohol and then blew
everything out with canned air. Lubed with mineral oil.
Snap seems to have improved a lot.

That particular model came that way out of the factory for the first year or two. They've fixed the problem on the ones made now, but the only way to get the snap it should have requires that it be taken completely apart and since it's new, a trip to Case's repair department is the way to go.
