I actually cleaned up the liners. They are brass and just had a load of gunk stuck to 'em. That was some nasty stuff..... oily, dirty cell residue is bad, but I did get it off.
Wow you were really fortunate that the liners weren't cracked at the rocker pen. I have seen that happen a lot of times on the old celluloid Camillus knives. The Streamlines are famous for that!
I have taken Streamlines apart that seem to work well and had ok snap, only to find that there were cracks at both liners, and as soon as I took the handles apart you could almost watch the liners twst and crack further from the stress put on the rocker pins by the springs.
The surprising thing was that the knife from the outside didn't appear to be too involved in the outgassing process. Not nearly as bad as yours looked. It's really difficult to tell what damage has been done to a knife without taking it apart.
You made a great rescue of that #15!
Outstanding save and a great looking EDC!
