Lubrication Choice of Folding knife

[sirgrumps]

Ok, I have a simple question , What is the best overall lubricant that i can use on the pivot of my benchamde folders?

Really no such thing as "best". There's a ton of excellent lubes out there, just take your pick!

I've tested these products and found them to be excellent performers:
www.gunoil.com
www.eezox.com
www.break-free.com
www.militec-1.com
www.corrosionx.com
www.g96.com

Keep in mind that corrosion is always more of a problem than wear. Choose a product accordingly. The two best rust preventative lubes that I've ever tested are Break-Free CLP and Corrosion X.

For great prices on Break-Free and other stuff, try www.midsouthshooterssupply.com . Excellent customer service, too.

Cheers,
Clayton

For folders with phospher/copper-bronze pivot bearings I use C Reeves fluorinated greese.For my folders with nylatron breaings or any thing else I use a lite grade gun oil.

Sirgrumpsalot,
The best lube that I've found,is plain old Duralube. It inpregnates the surfaces of the metals, so the knives are very,"walkable", even when very "dry",and a container will last almost a lifetime. I haven't used 1/4 of mine yet,on all my carry folders or my whole collection, and its been 6 years.If I find something better all I have to do ,is put the rest of it in my car!!! Nothing wasted!

Nobody knows more about lubricating folding knives than balisong artists. In a few minutes of free-style manipulation, I can cycle the joints on my knife more times that even a dedicated flicker will in a whole year.
