Thanks for posting that link, Jan. While I'm not a shooter I am nonetheless a man who admires a beautiful stag handle knife. And, good lord! That blog certainly has some gorgeous examples of stag handled knives that were designed with a specific purpose in mind - To extract shotgun shells. 

I enjoyed looking at all of the pictures as well as reading some really interesting information about the history of those knives. Good Stuff!

Glad it's working again for you, John.

A little light oil (3 in one ..or.. sewing machine oil ..or.. equivalent) is certainly suggested / required at this point. I'd stick to a light oil .. a high quality sewing machine oil works great !!

John...

I am glad you solved this problem and that we could help. Remember WD40 is a penetrating substance which does repel water...as does oil but is not a great lubricant. So keep and eye on the action. One drop of oil on the locking points, both open and closed, will prevent the wearing of the release point/s. Remember, cut long, deep and continuous.

I soaked the knife in hot water and then put it in the dishwasher.  when it came out I hit it with some wd40.  It works like you promised :-)  Thanks!-=

Thanks guys!  I will try your suggestions.  I may tomorrow but I can't promise it, given how Monday's tend to be for me.

WD 40 was designed as a water-displacing lubricant.

John & Dale...

Yes a dirty knife is something to behold. I throw it in the hottest tap water I can with dish washing soap which cuts grease. I then run hot water over this to rinse off the Dawn and all the junk. I then, depending on the handle, drop it in boiling water for 6 to 8 min. You pull this out and it steam drys instantly. No oil...no nothing. I then put 3 in 1 oil on the moving parts and rub the excess all over the entire knife. Wipe clean and your done. For the Buck I would use very hot water when removed does about the same as the boiling water. I have spray gun oil so I use this to remove the water. Good luck.
