what type of oil should i use to oil the mechanism of an ao knife

I use RemOil or Militec-1 on all my knives ( A/O or manual). The RemOil is a light oil with some cleaning properties and rust protection, it won't gum up.
The Militec, although designed for firearms , seems to be a better lube for slow opening knives.
 
It could be the Torsion Bar , but try a drop of oil ( just a little ) on the pivot.
 
im having another problem with it though...i think i might just send it back...there is some side to side blade play...its a very small amount...but i notice it...but if i tighten it anymore the ao doesnt open it all the way
 
Getting the pivot to the point where it's tight enough to stop play but not slow the blade too much is tricky.
You have to tighten the pivot is very small increments , like the minute hand of a watch. It's trial and error.
