Hello there ChefRichie...another snapper here. For Victorinox Swiss Army Knives, I don't have any worries snapping thta blade til kingdom come, but I take a gentler approach when it comes to my Wengers. It feels like the backsprings of wengers are not as strong as Victorinox's... but that maight just be me. Welcome to MTO!
Juices aren't as good snappers as SAKs are.
Sorry about that again. But...(Image removed from quote.)
Great Thead! We need to move it to the Swiss forum.
For God's sake, don't let Australian Customs see these one-hand opening videos. OHO knives are a prohibited import into Nannystralia and this just made all SAKs OHO.
... in hand opening and closing the blade listening to that SNAP... chewing gum for the hands...
How about restoring that famous 'snap' to a used knife? I acquired a used Vic Tourist and all the tools have great snap, except for the main blade. I've tried spraying it with WD-40, washing it with hot water, and oiling it, but there has been no improvement. Are there any super secret SAK expert techniques I could try?
Howdy! I let them snap back into the knife. As long as the blade was correctly made the spring should stop it before it bottoms out. The only problem I have ever seen with a Swiss Army knife is when you have a Bail then it is important to make sure it is folded out of the way before you close the blade. If not it will damage both the bail and the blade. (Image removed from quote.)
