Dubya3 that was my honest response, so I'm not sure why you are getting nasty. I do think that is the correct product, and I have been wondering about this a long time, and am happy to have learned something new. Are you taking anger management classes?....you might want to seek those out.

I'll take that as an apology. Anyways.....its been a long time since I've heard anyone called a "dink", so I enjoyed the nostalgia of it. I suspect we share a similar number of years on this planet.

Sincerely, thank you for the thread, and the info regarding Christolube, which I have now found some good sources for.
 
BladeHQ actually names it as Christo-Lube, but their product catalog is pretty extensive. The MCG111RP is a grease designed for gaskets, specifically gaskets in scuba equipment.

MCG111 seems pretty easy to obtain. The MCG111RP, not so much. I wonder how much of a difference; between the two there is....

Yeah, I didn't want to be an ass but the whole getting stinky part of the "don't ask because I won't tell" part of the grease container annoyed me. Nothing I should have let get to me, I'm sorry to those i offended.

As far as the grease goes, I've disassembled, cleaned and regreased the few CRK's I've obtained so far and it does seem to work really well short term. I haven't had them long enough to make a decision yet but the only thing that worries me is grease+dirt/dust. I work in the cement industry, making and placing concrete and I'm around dirt, dust and cement all day. My knives get dirty fast. A small 21 CF Insingo is my daily work knife and it's been great with the grease so far, not a significant amount of crap built up so I'm hoping it's the right choice. As hard nosed as Mr Reeve seems in the videos I've seen, I can't imagine he'd use anything subpar.
 
CRK grease is cheap compared to your knife. It even comes free with the knife now. In other threads, "experts" have said there are a variety of "equivalent" grease formulations. There are other "experts" who say oil is the best, and that the use of grease is not required, oil gives better performance.

All I know, is lubrication is not guesswork or opinion, it is a science called tribology and the factory grease works fine. It was formulated by tribologists and chosen plus tested by CRK.
 
I have the 3 grease tubes that came with my 3 Sebenzas so I probably have enough to last me a couple decades. That's how much I worry about grease...
