What lube do you use on your folders?

[VR4]

I'm curious what lubricants you guys use on your folders, if you use different lubes for different knives, or if you prefer to run your knives dry. I've personally had success with white lithium grease when a knife needs it but I'm interested in seeing if there's something better out there.

Personally I think no lube = nothing for lint to stick to and make the knife rough.....just my $0.02

I've never had to use lube, at least for my knives. Either way, lint is going to get stuck in your knife, whether It's got lube or not.

Slip 2000 EWL grease at the hinge.

Other than that dry.

I was using slip 2000 but even that tracks too much crud....I keep them dry and just blow out the crud now.

Tuffglide.

Militec-1

When I need it, Hoppe's gun oil. I try to go without if possible.

Urea grease for the pivot, Marine Tuf-coat for blade protection.

Nano-Oil.

Benchmade Bluelube, and CRK grease

Satisfied with these two, curious to see what the hype is with Nano Oil though.

BreakFree CLP works for me; don't have to dismantle my Sebbie (it's Loctited).

I just use a little Fluid Film when needed.
