Anyone run their sebenza dry?

[Dr sharp]

After i lube my sebenza with teflon fishing reel lube it tends to pick up alot of pocket lint, like all knives do. I was wondering if i could run it with no lube, since it has phosphor bronze washers. My only concern would be the lock face. I know most titanium galls, and chris hardens his; so it might not be a problem. While im on this topic, does the lock face even need to be lubed, i lube it cause i dont want any premature ..um...wear that is. I know chris builds these sebbies like a tank but i still want to give my little sebbie the best care. So are there any non lubers out there?

You have metal-to-metal moving parts...lube it!

CRK suggests lightly lubing the blade where the lock touches it.

I've never used my Sebenza w/o lube, so I'm not sure how well that would work. However, it probably wouldn't be a good idea and would more than likely cause premature wear on the knife. After all, you wouldn't run your car without oil, would you?

Been trying to run my Sebbie @ 3500 RPM.
Guess I'm just getting old. Can only manage 30

How about the Fluorinated Grease they sell, anyone using that?

The flourinated grease is awsome and attracts little dust. I highly recommend it!

Sounds daft but I spray mine with furniture polish and that seems to do the trick!

White Lightening, and Miltec are both good slick, light lubes.I would not try dry though.
