I found this old 70's Imperial Barlow in the knife box at the local thrift store. The blade is chipped and it is gunked up. I can take care of tat but the the scales ar also loose and wiggle.

Re: Barlow scales
One purpose of the knife stiddy is to put the knife on it and tighten up the pins w/o taking the knife apart. If you try that be sure to tap and not hit the pins. I'll bet that would work.

Re: Barlow scales
If it is a full shell handle, if you tighten up the tabs at each end that should do it.
Bend the tabs in more to make them tighter.

Re: Barlow scales
The rivets on those snap on type scale / bolsters sometimes become loose just by dropping the knife. Remove the scale assembly by unbending the tabs at both ends and tap the rivets till tight then reassemble.
