Has anyone tried graphite lock lube on a slippie? I only put a drop of mineral oil on each pivot pin, but no matter how much I wipe it off, it seems to leach out around the blade and back spring for the next few days. Just thought graphite might be an alternative.

Thanks,

sorry if this is a stupid question but are you talking about the graphite powder that they use to lubricate locks, because id imagine that would make quite a mess. Also how long does it last compared to a drop of oil ?
 
powder was what I used.

It didnt seem to last longer or shorter than a drop of oil in my experience.
