This was peer recommended lube for reducing spring ping, squeak, and crunch. https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-4-3301-Swiss-Knife-Multitool/dp/B000FTQP00 - dang, it was $5 something when I got mine. Beware that bottle is smaller than it appears in the photo.
Thank you for the comprehensive explanation.
Just out of curiosity. How would it compare to something like this:

Schmierfix for the stabs and Victorinox for the slider
Yes it's real.
>How old is it?
The stamp was used in the production period 1980-2005, it's a climber model, so it's from anywhere between 1991-2005.
>How do I clean it?
Official manual can be found here. - Basically just put it under warm water and open/close the different tools, and dry the tools with a clean towel, the rest can airdry, as the stainless steel they use - if im correct - is grade 420, or something close to it. [...Under hardened conditions, grade 420 steels are resistant to fresh water, alkalis, air, foods and mild acids...] Also do yourself a favour and buy the official oil to it.
>The scissor is a little broken, the "spring" seems to be worn out and shifts out of place whenever I try cutting something. Do I have to take it to a repair shop?
You can buy replacements here, Im fairly sure the medium spring will be sufficient, as the climber is part of the medium collection.
>There is a dirty stain on it's side (you can see it on the third image) that's been there forever, and scrubbing it won't remove it. How can I take it off?
Have you tried with acetone/sprit? While it's unlikely, if it has been laying in bad conditions or for whatever reason, should have gotten iron particles knocked into it (like scratching it hard on a piece of iron) it can be rust, but then you should be able to feel it.
>How do I take better care of it in the future?
If you use it outside, just wear a tiny piece of clothes with you, and wipe said tool after use, and put it back in its pounch/container somewhere it isn't exposed. And just clean it every now and then.
Also wipe off acids (apples/oranges)

It's a tiny bottle but lasts forever and it's food safe. Good luck.
