I use clp for everything. All my knives get treated with clp and my guns bathe in the stuff. It works great, tested and true, and its cheap. I just disassembled my sebenza for the first time and just lubed it all up with CLP. I dont want to hear stories about why your chosen grease/oil was created by the gods and floated down to earth from the heavens. What I want to hear is who else uses CLP and the good/bad of it. If the CLP doesnt cut it, I'll be buying the grease from crk's website.
 
I've used CLP on my Sebenza in the past with decent results. However, the action is much smoother when I use a good grease instead. I don't use the CRK stuff, though. I just use whatever I have on hand. Lately it's been Tetra or Miltec.
 
I was the Break-Free distributer for South Africa for years and I have used CLP and LP on all my knives. I live 300 yards from the Atlantic ocean and never a speck of rust on any of my guns and knives.

I am a huge Break-Free fan:thumbup: and yes I too use it on my Sebbie's:)

Well, some guys run their knives dry and don't seem to have big problems. This isn't high performance engine turning 7k revs. :)

I used to use CLP or similar products on all my knives, but after I got my first Seb I started using the CRK grease on other framelocks and linerlocks. It doesn't slow them down to any significant extent and it does give a much smoother action. So, I've really gone in the opposite direction from your question. And, a tube of the CRK grease lasts a lonnnnng time because you can apply very small amounts (all that is needed) with the needle tip.
 
I'm thinking I will try the grease too. I have some lubriplate bearing grease sitting around too. Is the crk grease about the same texture/viscosity of bearing grease? Update Just tried the lubriplate bearing grease. Works very well. The action is slower than the clp, but it's smoother. Grease also tends to stay longer and not gum up with debris as easily. I also have enough of this stuff to last all CRK owners several lifetimes.

Used to be a big clp fan from military days but now i have switched to mpro7 with better results. Just personal choice though.
 
Sure, why not:) I use the CRK grease when I take the knife apart but CLP works good for when you don't feel like breaking everything down. You can just put some CLP on and blow it all out with an air compressor. It cleans it just as well for the most part. Also, I have a feeling the CLP helps to prevent rust in a salt water environment. Especially on the areas of the blade that the handle slabs cover and you cant wipe away salt water when your out in the field. The CLP is a good thing IMO:thumbup:
 
I just picked up a bottle of Mpro7, stripped my zaan down, cleaned it, applied the mpro7, it's nice and smooth.
I couldn't find fluorinated grease at the gun shop.

I used the mpro7 on my flashlight threads and it made them really smooth.

anyone else have experience with that stuff?

OT, but did you confirm that it won't affect neoprene o-rings on the flashlights?...or for that matter, the o-rings on the thumblugs of the Umnumzaan?
