Had 'em for 15-20 years. Mighta averaged 10 min. lite-duty use per year.

Tried to cut some plumbers strap-tape the other day, the 2 blades
separated, wouldn't cut.

Tried tightening the bolt: no hep'.

Blades are not sharp, but they're not incredably dull either.

Should I go after the blades with a whetstone or what?

A file works fine. Don't sharpen the edges that touch, just the
beveled faces.

I managed to get a jeweler's file to work OK.

Thanks,
