Hey guys,

A few days ago I placed an order for a new Spyderco B. Southard flipper and want to use a specialty grease instead of my current oil (Nano Oil) don't get me wrong, Nano Oil is hands down the best oil I have ever used! Just want to use grease specifically for my Southard as it uses ball bearings and I know grease is preferred for bearings.

I know CR has his blend of grease but can't seem to find it? Anything else out there comparable?
Thoughts on "Finish Line Fluor Grease"? Seems like a good contender.
 
I'm not sure if grease works best for small bearings. On yoyos, we just use a really really thin, watery lubricant. Bearings won't really wear out that fast, IMO. I use militec on my knives myself.
 
I use plain generic urea grease for the pivot of my folders. I just barely touch the grease with my finger tip and wipe it around the pivot and the bushings. Not even enough to see, except for a little bluring. I've been using that on the pivots of my folders for several years now, and it makes my Benchmade axis lock as fast as an auto if need be. Doesn't pick up dust or lint. I clean and re-grease about twice I year.

You could use the 85 weight Nano-Oil (about the same viscosity as molasses), works very well on various kinds of ball bearing systems.
Christian StClaire also sells Nano-Grease (red lithium grease containing nano particles) on his website.
