Repair loose blade

[Papa]

I have an old electricians type knife that has loose blades. They are tight side to side but do not snap back tight. They wiggle a little in the direction they open and close. What is involved in a fix. The blades look good and the handles are in good shape. I would like to try to fix and use. I would appreciate any advise. It is a Holub brand. Thanks

if the usual oil trick don't work and washing it out doesn't effect it, it probably has a bad tang or spring, spring can be replaced but there is usually no fix for tangs.

muskratman,
Please send me an email with your mailing address so I can send you replacement springs for the Camillus model #S1760 knife. How many do you need? Pins?
Install the new springs with the punch marks toward the spear blade.
