To oil or not to oil...

That is the question? Knife is a BM523SBK. Is it a good idea or is it just going to gum up with lint etc.? Trying to get it to smooth out but don't really want to loosen the bolt.

Use a LITTLE bit of militec or tuff glide and it'll be fine

If you don't like your knives to be oily you can try White Lightning, which is wax in a solvent that dries off in a couple of minutes. May not be completely on par with high-performance synthetic oils but it works very well for me.

Did I mention it's completely dry? No lint-attraction at all. Great stuff.
