DIY Knife Restoration Using WD-40 Magic

Plus 1 more

Project Description:

My old utility knife was completely seized with rust and corrosion, making the blade mechanism stuck and unusable. Instead of throwing it away, I decided to restore it using WD-40 Multi-Use Product.

I cleaned off loose debris, then applied WD-40 generously to all rusted areas, letting its penetrating formula work for several minutes to break down the rust bonds. After gently working the mechanism, the blade gradually began moving freely again.

The transformation was remarkable - what started as a corroded, stuck tool became smooth-operating and fully functional. This project perfectly demonstrates WD-40's "repair it, don't replace it" philosophy, proving that even severely damaged tools can be brought back to life with the right approach.

The knife now operates as smoothly as when new, saving money while preventing waste. Thanks to WD-40's rust-fighting capabilities, this utility knife will continue serving for years to come.
