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 adviseOld Hunter wrote:Welcome to AAPK. Don’t give up on having any snap in the blades - they look pretty full and probably aren’t worn enough to have worn down tangs. 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

Glad it worked for you and glad to have you here at AAPK. OH
