Five days ago I received a used Large Sebenza. The lock seemed stiff, but I never owned one before. After disassembling and cleaning it w/ a very light coat of oil it worked much better. Today I applied more Rem Oil to the knife and the lock became "stickier" and harder to disengage. After cleaning the oil off the lock bar it was easier to dissengage. Just thought I would pass this info along.

Some lubricants don't work on the Sebenza, making it very rough, probably due to the peculiar properties of titanium. I tried "Breakfree", a great gun lubricant, but it felt like I put sand in the action. "Tetra Gun Grease," a high teflon lubricant, worked great.

Finish Line PTFE spray dry grease works VERY well on my Sebi. The link below has the full details.
I think because the sebi uses such tight tolerances and phosphered Bronze spacers, more Teflon is needed in a light grease.

Sorry if you misunderstood, what I meant to say is a PTFE grease like the CRK or any other good Teflon grease works much better than a light oil or Tuf Glide.
I did not want to be critical of the CRK product! Far from it, I am 99% sure it is better than my PTFE grease, mine is just much easier to apply and buy, thats all. Hey, it works!

I am a newbie and have yet to get my Large Sebenza. I do have one on the way: wait. Pvt. joke.
Is it correct to say that the knife should be dissasembled, cleaned and lubed while apart when new?
I would never cycle the action on a new production firearm without checking for filings, or whatever. While you have it apart, you may as well smooth things up and put in Wolff springs.
I would think that graphite would work well if you do not want to use grease.
