Tuf-Glide part 2

[MercuryHayze]

Well, I have finally gotten my FRN Endura back from my friends couch, where it tends to reside. After about three hours on my Lansky I had it slicing like a pro.
I have a question about the temper which I ruined while grinding out the 1/8 in. of tip I busted off of it. Does the damage to the temper extend beyond the discoloration? I've almost got it all ground out of the tip, the serrations are a lost cause I'm afraid....

Again, this little knife has been through hell and deserves some good TLC now that I have my Police to EDC about the place
So I gave it a good shot of Tuf-Glide... and my god, it's so sliK I can flip it out w/ no effort, don't even need to use my thumb anymore. It really seems like the Tuf-Glide worked a lot better on my beat up, old, flicked open a hundred million times folder then my new one. I suppose the tolerances have loosened up quite a bit on the Endura, and probably weren’t on par w/ the police to begin with and that is leaving more of the lubricant to do it's stuff.... But I thought Tuf-Glide was supposed to absorb into the metal?

From the Sentry Solutions website,

"Sentry uses state-of-the-art dry film technology to make TUF-GLIDE™ a superior, long-lasting product for both rust protection and lubrication. Sentry developed a proprietary formula of dry film rust inhibitors and lubricants which have a natural affinity for metals. Pure mineral spirits is the carrier, so TUF-GLIDE™ is fast drying and easy to apply.

TUF-GLIDE™ penetrates hard to access areas and displaces water. It provides cleaning, rust protection and lubrication. Pure mineral spirits carries the active ingredients and provides cleaning action. It evaporates, and Sentry's proprietary ingredients bond to the surface; this bonding ensures long-lasting effectiveness."

As you can see, the carrier evaporates leaving the main Tuf-Glide ingredients bonded to the metal, pivot, blade, etc.. It's an excellent product...the only stuff I use on my knives.
