So I got my first ever Swiss Army Knife 2 months ago. It’s a Victorinox Huntsman with 14 tools (the one with the saw). I have not used it extensively yet, but I wipe it clean every time I use it.
I’m not aware of when and how often I should oil the moving parts and things like that. I would like to keep this knife in working condition for as long as I can.
I have one of those monsters with everything in it and my maintenance is wiping it off if it gets something on it. I think I might have put some WD-40 or bike chain oil on it one time. I might have sharpened the big blade once.
Yeah my dad has one of those, super heavy and you wont use half of the tools but he has it for about 30 years and never needed much maintanance apart from the “cleaning after use” rule and the eventual WD40
I’ve had mine for about 35 years and done minimal maintenance. I’m about to send it to Victronox for a “spa visit” because the red casing got cracked. They will do a full cleaning and overhaul (and repair) on it for a very reasonable price. They really do stand behind their work.
