Tight blades
Hello, noob question here I have a couple older slip joint knives and I'm having trouble pulling the blades out is there anything anybody recommends using to make it easier a little mineral oil? Thanks, Dan
Re: Tight blades
Always keep the joints (where the blades pivot) oiled. Everybody had their favorites and any light machine oil will work to a degree (like 3-in-One oil). I don't think mineral oil does a good enough job creeping into the joint. My favorite is Quick Release. It is amazing stuff and has been know to even restore snap where it had been lost.cubflyer wrote:Hello, noob question here I have a couple older slip joint knives and I'm having trouble pulling the blades out is there anything anybody recommends using to make it easier a little mineral oil?

I usually get it off amazon just because we buy a lot of things there. This is enough to last you A LONG time.

Re: Tight blades
I use Quick Release Oil if the blades are really tight.
Mineral Oil also works well, but it is slightly more viscous ( thick).
Side Hint: If the blades are abnormally tight soak the oil container in very warm water
(not boiling) for 5-10 min. This will heat the oil and lower the viscosity even further
for penetration into all joints.
