Is there any reason I shouldn't use WD40 on my Buck 110 or any other knife? Could that create problems with rivetless stag handles? I also plan to use it on Spydercos.
 
...Well "peeved bunny"...I've used a ton of WD-40 on my knives, both riveted and rivetless, wood and stag, to get crud out when I use 'em or to help loosen 'em up. I then blow it out and have never had a problem...I wish they'd used the same adhesive Buck uses when they glued my tooth caps in...LMBO...:eek: :eek: :D :cool:
 
Darryl,,,me too!!!!

But he did mention Stag... I haven't ever been there....
 
...Larry...I've done the WD-40 trick with stag a number of times now...I get 'em gunked up pretty bad sometimes when I use 'em...and the WD-40 hasn't hurt either of the 2 that I use now and then...Actually I used WD-40 to get the black buffing residue outa the BG-42 Stag that I got back in December...It's still tight and looks great...
 
Thats good to know,,,, Not that I am going to use any of mine as users... still good to know...:D thx!!!

334darryl - did you use it on the blade/rockerbar, or on the stag scales themselves??? What I mean is, does WD-40 take the black buffing compound out of the stag scales???

...LMAO...Dave's gonna throw up if he see's that Trax...I sprayed it on the stag and used one of those brushes from that hair dye fer men... ( don't know where I found it ):eek: :p ...It did get the black junk outa the stag but I'm not sure if it was the WD-40 or the brush ( musta been from a neighbor ):D :D ...:rolleyes: :cool:
 
I recall using it (WWFD 40) when I was a youngster on my pinned 110. That would be in the 70's. Never had a problem .

Gonna try it on my Gummy Buck 298GY...maybe tomorrow and will report back.

WD-40 as a cleaning agent makes some sense...but as a lubricant, it leaves much to be desired, since it will evaporate over time... :(

BTW: WD-40 also takes scuff marks off of laptop computers...now, I'm not blowing smoke up your butt...I read this on a PC forum, and tried it on my Compaq notebooks (I have 4...long story)...it took all the scuff marks right off...just spray on a rag (or right on the scuff), and rub briskly...viola! :D :thumbup:

I believe you. There are quite a few neat tricks out there. I used to use Pledge furniture polish on my '66 300. That baby used to shine like Aztec gold in the sun. It smelled like fresh lemons too. It is great for a quick shine when you got babes to pick up.:D

...LMAO...I was sure I was the only weirdo who did that in the 60's...My "67 SS" used to shine like a mirror in the sun with Pledge...My sweetie loved the smell of the lemons too...:D :D :cool: :p

Fellas, WD-40 isn't a lubricant anyway. It's a W ater D isplacement agent.

Yep, I used it for cleaning the crud in the guts of the 110 and am hoping it will help gumout my 289GY that has seen a slowing in its' action.

I let it dry then use a light oil (gun, mineral, or "very little" 3in1) to wipe the blade. I don't oil the pivot as I learned that it simply provides a medium for dust to collect and turn into crud.

Your mileage may vary...
 
BreakFree is what I use on all my knives for cleaning, lubrication and rust protection -- both high carbon and SS.
