I just went to check mine re someones recent post and found my trilobite's sheath so shrunken that I had to use both hands to wrestle it out. Hardly ideal, but the blade cut both line and paper so I sprayed the blade and sheath with PB Blaster and its now good (maybe in water it would have been looser?)
Then, I tested the sheers (which I had tightened maybe a year ago by bopping the rivet with a hammer) and they cut paper fine ,but, when I tried to cut line (which I aImost skipped) NO DICE. which would have really sucked had I been entangled. Sooo, I'm suggesting that I (especially) and possibly some others MIGHT want to be more diligent in maintaining cutting devices.
(several times I've gotten slightly entangled In invisible but taught line, and was able to stop, chill, and back out.
Twice I had to, stop, chill and actually cut my way out.)
So...I'm suggesting that I, at least, need to be more diligent re cutting devices as I am almost always solo diving.
(please don't yell at me)
