Breakfree for lube - knives and firearms, Tuf-Cloth for blades.

I use Hoppes Gun Oil for lubricating the moving parts on my knives, and to coat my blades (swords, etc) with protective oil. It is, by far, the cheapest and best multipurpose oil I have ever used.
 
Say folks - Whatabout Tuff-Glide? Any users out there?

Bought a bottle of Tuf Glide but haven't tried it yet. Soon.

I've found White Lightning works great on my Axis lock ... at first. Then the wax tends to collect pocket grit over time and makes the Axis gritty to open, like it has 8 or 10 grains of find sand in it. Not satisfying.

I'm going to blast it with solvent really well, and go back to Break Free. Good stuff.

2nd thought... after solvent clean, I'll try Tuf Glide on the Axis/710.

I think so. Probably re-packaged for folders and multi-tools!

Hmmm...Just today, I received a free sample bottle of White Lightning "Raceday Lubricant" in the mail.

I WAS going to try it on a couple of my folders, but after reading the negative comment from rdangerer, the bottle just might have to remain un-opened for awhile...

(The Break-Free CLP that I HAVE been using as my "all-around lube" for "all these years" IS pretty darn good, anyway...).

I use tuf-glide on a Benchmade 720 folder. It works great, but that axis locks still collects sand and lint like a vacuum.

You know, I haven't had this White Lightning stuff for very long, but coupling the fact that it's a bit unmanagable due to very low viscosity, and that now I see it DOES tend to some grit, I going back to Break Free for the whole casaba.
 
BarryH and Samo: Yes and no. Let me explain. White Lightning was originally designed for bike chains and was developed with a "shedding" action that would have dirt/ debris buildup literally flake off. Freewheel cogs, pulleys, chainrings, deralleur cages and chain itself helps in this shedding action. The manufacturers clearly state that in order to have full effectiveness, one must start with a bare metal cleaned chain. If a folders mechanism is not likewise then buildup may occur and shedding action may be hampered.

Enter the wet formula "Raceday" formula. It was primarily designed for off road use where a wetter formula is desireable due to contact with mud, sap, worms

, water, dirt, etc. Again a clean chain/ folder to start with is a must. This formula does not dry as quick and will allow for a longer "flow" time in your folders mechanism. It also does not shed as much.

I believe the original grey (small) and/ or blue (large) labelled bottle formula (dry) is the same one used for the knife market.

Hope this helps a bit.

BTW Dan don' t use either on Glocks.

The resulting black slightly sticky residue will compromise its tolerances. Much like lead ammo residue. You know what that means!

I don't own a gun, so never even had the remote thought of having a few drops of White Lightning on the Glock! *hee-hee!*
