Actually this jaccard comes apart... the base slides apart and the
pin/blades can be unlocked and removed. By sliding the jaccard name plate
over and pushing the blade up thru the top of the handle part. But it is
easier to just hold the spring loaded base up so the hidden blade tips
are exposed and wipe those with a damp sponge. It's the base that has
cracks and creavices which is the true pain to wash/clean. I will, in the
future, slide the base apart to wash... to allow for better drying as it
was still water logged this morning when I slid it apart.

I have always found disassembling stuff too often causes wear and
shortens it's life span. And I plan on using this a fair bit. Still I
wish there were less nooks and crannies in the base part.
