Dads knives

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Flush them good with hot soapy water (Dawn), then blow them out with compressed air and oil the joints with light gun oil. They may surprise your by regaining the snap. OH
I flushed it soap and water ,blew it out with electronics duster could see bubbles come out from between the springs . I then oiled and let it sit awhile then blew out some crud , blades worked a little better. Very glad since cleaned can see some color and grain of bone handles. May do it over again with air nozzle at work, thanks for the advise

Glad it worked for you and glad to have you here at AAPK. OH
Deep in the guts of most men is buried the involuntary response to the hunter's horn, a prickle of the nape hairs, an acceleration of the pulse, an atavistic memory of his fathers, who killed first with stone, and then with club...Robert Ruark
