Read some good posts here and just realized I think I'm in need of some more lube for knife pivots. I bought some Mili-Tec years ago from Benchmade when that was their recommended lubricant, but it's all gone now. Chris Reeve grease on his folders, but what about the other knives? I use Sentry Solutions Tuff CLoth to coat my blades for extra corrosion protection. But what are you using to lube the pivots, Break-Free, Slip-2000, Benchmade Blue Lube?
My apologies if this has been covered recently
I use what's closest...Tuf-Glide, Ballistol, SuperLube, Slip 2000 / EWL, Break Free, they all work just fine, imho. I've never taken my knives apart to grease them. YMMV.Originally Posted by SmokeJumper
There's nothing civil about this war.
After watching some disassembly videos on the Nick Shabazz YT Chanel, I have been trying
this Daiwa product. Comes pre packaged with a high precision applicator. I am happy.
I am also certain that most any light oil applied to a clean knife would work just fine.

Mineral oil- it's food grade, (used as a laxative), and I think it's the base of Balistol.
Tuf-glide is usually my first choice.
Ballistol. Thought a majority of my knives are fixed. I use it on my falling axes, Pulaskis, and shovels as well.
If you ever use the knife to cut food, I recommend food grade mineral oil.
Great info, forgot about the Ballistol
Eh, I'm a grubby heathen. I'll use a tiny dab of Mobil-1 synthetic and call it a day.
Lube is a shit magnet... I leave mine dry.
