flipper and lube

Was wondering if you guys have ever tried FROG LUBE..... I use it on all of my steel blades to protect them from rust, it smells great and is food grade....it's made for marine use on firearms as a corrosion inhibiter, it gives stonewashed steel a mirror like finish at an 80deg angle from a surface reflection, pretty cool.... Not for lubeing pivots, for that I'm using nano....

I use mineral oil (food grade) on my blades because I do use them for food prep from time to time. But this Frog Lube sounds interesting.

Got any pics of the mirror like finish it gives a blade?

Some cool facts about frog lube, it was invented by a Navy SEAL, it's made from natural food grade ingredients, and was developed under a govt contract.... A portion of frog lube sales goes to THE NAVY SEAL FOUNDATION.....

It is not as forceful as my EDC 3.5" BUT my EDC 3" opens with the flipper and No wrist action.
In order to do this:
- Knife should be lubed.
- Broken in
- Pivot properly adjusted

Hold the knife in the opening position with your index finger in position.
"Push" forward on the flipper (pre-loading) and QUICKLY snap your index finger rearward ...
Try a few times to get the flow of the technique , should be quick and fluid.

Knife (to include 3") should open with a snap and need for wrist flick.

If I knew how to post a vid I would show it.

Doubt that it is the "aggressiveness" of the jimping, finger just needs to get used to the feel.

What do you mean by "broken in"? Since the washers are Teflon I don't think there is much to be broken in. Unless you are talking about breaking in the lock but I don't see how that would effect flipping.
 
Phrase more generic than specific, break-in, meld, relax, settle, seat.....all would be descriptive. Almost any item that is "made" is subject to stresses during the process (even circuitry in high-end audio) cars, guns, knives, etc.
All of my XM's (all knives I have owned and carried) settled in to my liking after a little time and use.
Hope that helps clarify what I meant.
