Good wash with soap and water, blasting with WD40, oiling

The old factory oil has probably turned to goop.

The factory oil they used tends to harden and seize things up. In the 3-4 mint in box USA Schrades I've picked up over the years, cleaning them well and re-oiling (I use just ordinary 3-in-1) usually helps immensely.

also, using a toothbrush when washing the tool helps (don't use it for your teeth afterwards)

Which Schrade is it? The Schrade Tough Tool is nicknamed the "Tough to Open Tool." It was riveted together so user adjustment is virtually impossible.

A man with one multitool always knows exactly which to use. A man with many multitools is never quite sure.
