I inherited this knife from my grandfather. It's basically a Tinker model but without the scale tools (tweezer, toothpick) and the awl doesn't have a hole.
The large blade is very hard to open. The small blade is a little stiff. The rest is maybe a little stiff but not too bad. The bottle opener is smooth.
When opening the large blade it becomes very stiff at 30, 90, and 120, degrees opened. It's easier to close than to open.
What do you think is the cause of the tools and especially the large blade being hard to open?
