Mods, delete/move if needed. I'm not sure if there is an appropriate area for this question so....
I carry a Smith and Wesson Millenium Swat folding pocket knife (full size, half serrated). I love it. Been carrying it every day for 4 years now. I'm not a knife expert by any means, so forgive this newb quesiton.
The knife is getting old and I think that the hinge is getting gritty because there's a lot more friction in the action than when I purchased it. I can still flick it open, and it's not hindering it's use, but I'd like to fix it, make it smooth again.
Question is, can you tear down a (this) folding pocket knife, clean it, and re-grease it? If so, if there anything I should know? What type of grease to use? Things to look out for?
Thanks in advance for any responses I get!
