Torsion Bar Lubricant

[GlockLobster]

Hello everyone

When I was disassembling my Kershaw Blur for the first time today I found a lot of lubricant in the torsion bar chamber - not just the white lubricant at the bottom of the bar but a whole lot of gel lubricant towards the top. Here are pictures of it:

I made sure to put plenty of oil on the bar and in the chamber but I'm not sure that's gonna cut it. Is this lubricant a must for A/O knives and if so do you have suggestions on what lubricant I should use. If oil is enough, then I'm all set in that department.

Thanks guys!

I always use white lithium grease on torsion bars and omega spring..
rem oil for any other type of folder. It does not seem to effect lock up like some other oils,

The grease is in place to prevent rattle of the torsion bar while in the open position.

Hey, thanks for the responses - I'll be sure to pick up some white lithium grease!
