How to fix a blade that wobbles?

Post by sweat79 »

Hi: I inherited a Schrade 897uh knife but the blades wobble from side to side when open. Is there a way to fix this?

Also, one of the blades does not close very well. Can this be fixed?

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

both can be fixed, depending on the age and wear on the knife it could be a variety of things causing the blade not to close. The wobble can be fixed but it involves repinning the knife.
