Got a 9100, been using it for some years now, however recently it has been opening slow, the axis has a lot gunk in there, how do I clean it? | ||

Try using an compressed air gun on it...it works wonders blowing out fluff from your pocket and gunk. __________________________ * Allen Elishewitz Preservation Society Founding Member #3 * Brotherhood of the 420 & Viceroy of the Knights of the Gravitator Member * Lum Lunatics Charter Member #15 * President of the Gentleman Society for the Preservation of the 960 Innova * Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance Member #2 * Blackwood Society member #610 Red, Blue and Black Class, Pre-Productions, Limited Editions | |||

Another tried and true suggestion: Give the knife a bath in hot soapy water, swab the innards with a pipe cleaner, NOT Q-tips, which leave lint of their own...dry the knife with a hair dryer on the LOW setting and after dry use Blue Lube or whatever your favorite stuff is on the pivots. 350, 520, 525, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.

If your mechanically inclined , take the sucker apart and clean it. Best bet is to send it to BM and have them change the spring ....... Maybe its gettin weak and worn. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contempt Prior to Investigation - Dont knock it till you,ve tried it.
