Hello STR. I would like you opinion on lubes. I am leaning toward dry lubes like Mil-Tec and Tuff Glide and may be Blue Lube. The Blue Lube is very thin and seems to penetrate well but it appears to be a wet lube But I am not sure.
Thanks and I enjoy your very knowledgeable post on knives.

Also, I do not lube the liner lock where it engages the blade tang.

Tuff Glide is one I use and Mil Tec is not bad either except for the smell.
Well, actually both smell some. I am not a big fan of lint collecting 'wet lubes' and tend to think those may work until grit and lint get into the mechanisms they are supposed to lube. I'd shy away from those. There are times when a dab of something of that nature can be fine in very small amounts like a drop on top of the detent ball now and again or on the pathway its drawn on the blade from the rotation during movement.
