well, i got a stroke of luck today. i FOUND a brand new swiss army knife laying beside the road. i pulled over to fix the side rail on the side of my truck and lo and behold beside the road i found a brand new swiss army knife still in the package inside a kmart bag. the receipt was still in it, so it must have blew outta someone's vehicle or they pulled over at this spot and got out and must have knocked it out. this is the first swiss army knife i've ever owned. it says on the package it's made by wegner. on the back of the package, it says to lightly oil all the pivot hinges. well, i did this with some 3-n-1 oil.
my question is, how often should this be done? every month, every 3 months, every year,what? cause the package didn't say, it just said to do it. also how about the blade inside and all the tools? should i oil them? i've never messed with stainless steel blades, which i take this is, so i don't know if i'm supposed to oil them as well. but i'm not sure about stainless steel, when i oil the "hinges" should i oil all the tools to? and how often. as a note, i WILL be carrying this knife everyday from now on.
also, clumsy me, when i tried to oil the "hinges" thanks to gravity, some oil ran onto the can opener, ( it even ran into the toothpick area), but that's ok i wouldn't use the toothpick anyways but i still wiped it off.
i wiped and wiped and the oil smell and feel is still on the can opener. how long must i wait until it would be "safe" to use to open a can of food with. cause i'm sure with oil getting into what ever you are opening up, wouldn't be healthy and i can't seem to just wipe it off, how long should one have to wait.
