Reeve Grease

I simply can't believe how well this stuff works! My now broken-in Sebbie has an action that I can only describe as hydraulic. It'll be interesting to see how long the lube lasts.

:thumbup:

It's always lasted well for me. I don't take mine apart very often - maybe twice a year.

You should feel the action with the perforated washers of the Umnumzaan. The grease really feels 'hyraulic' with that setup.

I asked Chris if he had any Boss take down tools with him at Blade Show. He leaned over the counter, looked me straight in the face and said "Now why would you want to take apart the Umnumzaan?". To which I replied "Why to clean and lubricate it of course".

He took his personal Umnum. from his pocket and demonstrated how well it worked after a year of daily use and explained that the perfed washer will retain that grease for a LONG time. After using one for a while now, I have to say that I think he knows what he was talking about.

Of course, I bought the tool anyway just because it was a specialty tool that I didn't have in the tool chest.

I use bike ball bearing grease on mine and it works great

I use CRK grease on all my knives. Haven't found better stuff that isn't also more toxic.
