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’d argue that properly maintained tools maintain for life…when you use it constantly the value in proper tools is absolutely worth it… .if you use it a couple times a year, fuck it go with harbor freight.
