Knife Pivot Lube – Original Knife Oil for Blades – Synthetic Pocket Knife Honing Oil – 10ml Precision Lubricant

This is the right way to lubricate a knife pivot. I was using mineral oil thinned with mineral spirits, and it worked fine, for a while. I only bought the KPL out of curiosity, and to get the needle-nozzle bottle it comes in. So I disassembled my edc, cleaned out the dirt and oil, and reassembled. Then I put a drop of kpl at each bearing, and where the lock-bar meets the blade. It works as good as my old oil (the action couldn't be any better), but it seems to stay put better. I didn't have to wipe away any excess oil, and there is still (after a week of use) a visible bead of oil near the lock bar. It doesn't just work well for pivots, but also any other places on the knife where metal slides against metal under pressure, such as lock-bar or lock face, or the detent ball, the dimple it rests in, and the track it rides. Lubricating these areas can help keep your detent snappy, your lock-up strong, and your action even smoother. It will also reduce wear on these areas from consistent usage (for those who like to fidget). This stuff stays in place so much better than other oils I've used. It works better on the non-pivot points than my other oils. As a bonus, it has almost no smell, and the light smell that it does have is actually pleasant. It seems pricey for a tiny bottle of oil, but consider these things: -It has a needle-nozzle for extremely accurate application (none wasted. I've oiled about 10 knives and the bottle still looks exactly the same) -It stays where you put it (long lasting). -It may actually help preserve the life of your knife parts. With these factors I expect this bottle to last a very long time, and save my knives some wear, so it was definitely worth it.

If you want to keep your folding knives in top shape, this is the stuff. The lube itself is very lightweight, but don't let that fool you—it makes the pivot feel buttery smooth instantly. Pros: Precision: The needle applicator makes it easy to apply exactly where you need it without making a mess. The drops are tiny, so even though I used a few drops in different spots, the bottle will still last a long time. Clean: It has a slight reddish tint and a light, pleasant scent—nothing "chemical" or overpowering. Effective: It’s very light but works fantastically to slick up the action. Cons: Cost: It's a little more expensive. Packaging: The cap is tricky to open. Definitely worth the investment for anyone who cares about their gear.

This is the first time I bought KPL and after using it I'll never use another product other than KPL because it's head and shoulders above the rest. It makes everything smooth and it's as good as they say it is! Plus OMG the smell! Am I right? Love it!

This stuff isn't cheap, but it definitely works. I recently bought a Protech auto knife, and if you know Protech autos, you know they fire open like a ballistic missile. Mine did as well, but if I tightened the pivot enough for zero blade play when locked out, it slowed deployment quite a bit because the knife is running on bronze bushings, rather than bearings and the increased friction slowed it down. After a couple drops of KPL and working it in for a couple minutes, I was able to achieve zero blade play with no loss of deployment speed. Yes, it's expensive and smells like burnt rubber, but considering the amount you need to use, it should last years and significantly improve performance. Just buy it.

Works as intended

I have over 30 folding knives and for the longest I just used my fishing reel oil and worked good. Boys this stuff is built different! Just a single drop on each side of the bearings or washers after you've disassemble and cleaned your knife and it'll will be better than the first day you got it. Like my elementary school teacher told me with the Elmer's glue " hey idiot don't use so much, a drop does allot". That should be their motto or catch phrase " a drop does allot" cause that is the Gods honest truth you don't need no more than that and it's buttery smooth.

Works well, makes pivots and bearings smoother. Smells good too. Highly recommended.

Works great. Took apart my civivi to clean it. Used the KPL to lubricate the pivots and ball bearings. Feels better than when it was new.

Amazing stuff for intended purpose. If you know you know

This stuff is amazing and the needle applicator is perfect way to apply this oil. I just wish they sold all their products on Amazon. Gotta say for real world application, this is a real bonus for Leathermade multitools. Generally, the excellent workmanship of a Leatherman tool can arrive ‘stiff’. Can take a while, for some a long while to break in and have the moving mechanisms not feel so tight as they are. Well, I have a couple of Leatherman pieces I purchased as back ups and are not in daily use scenarios. They will likely always remain stiff without regular use.. I used the KPL oil on both my Arc and Surge and applied in all the cracks of moving areas where there was friction. I worked them in by using the knives and all functions, then put them away for three days. When I picked them up again, wow. I really didn’t think the difference would be so big, but it was. Both knives move with buttery smooth action so differently that they feel like different knives. Especially the Arc. It’s just a joy to use as it moves so differently than before I oiled it with KPL. If ya ever wished your Leathermans were more fluid and less stiff in movement, then consider getting this oil for them. I highly doubt you’ll regret it once you feel the upgraded action of these multi-tools. Highly recommended.

Bought this for my balisong. Didn't realise how well it worked till I used it. Got rid of the clacking noise and the balisong is buttery smooth!!!! Thoroughly recommend 👌

Works great, should be $10 cheaper

Perfect for my EDC pocket knife pivots and balisong bushings. Will be ordering more soon to have some at home and one forwork.
