I've got all of these, plus a whole bunch more. I've been experimenting with all kinds of lubes and oils for years now and I can barely tell the difference between them. I find KPL to be overpriced and it underperforms, so I steer clear of that these days. The best bang for your buck is Pro-Shot Zero Friction and Hoppes #9 - both work really well, lasts ages and both made in the USA. I recommend either of those to everyone I know in the knife and pew world. As for Tuf-Glide... it's a dry lube, so you should only really use that stuff on knives with washers. It doesn't seem to play well with bearings I've found, but it does work good on the detent. So, I personally use a dab of Pro-Shot or Hoppes #9 on the pivot/washers/bearings, and use a dab of Tuf-Glide on the detent and you're set. But really, you could use olive oil and not tell the difference lol

While I've delved into lubes over the years, and decades, on lubes(no jokes to be made), I've only in the last year been getting into pocket knife ones. I do like the nano heavier weight when the knife is dismantled, the lighter weights are fine for on the go or for a friend's knife they don't take care of: several of my friends carry a pocket knife, but none of them(yet) are knife people. KPL... Bought them once but haven't really used them more than a couple times: just haven't been the best option at my disposal. Thanks for your comments. 🤘🏼✌🏽

[@mpmassacre91]

Tuff glide is for corrosion resistance i use it on all my 1095 fixed blades or blades with less stainless steels. I use gunny glide it works well for me. Kpl gums up if you dont use it for a while. I got 400 swabs like that for like 9$

[@hector_dom]

thank you for your videos on the topic and your conclusions. I have 3 out of 4 of the oils you show and I wondered for a long time which one would be better. Cheers!!

[@mikeyeh7646]

Thanks for the series. Definitely have me the info to what to buy. Thank you 🙏👍👌

[@HarleyBob957]

Good insight. Much appreciated.

[@mikeyeh7646]

Thank you for the series and the thorough scientific experiment. Proshot all the way 👍👌

[@SaigonKick2018]

Have knives that will sit for months without use. Tuff glide didn’t seem to keep and I had to reapply when the knife was carried months later. Switched to 10WNano oil and those same knives feel just as good as the day I lubricated them. I have noticed the need to reapply on the detent ball every once in awhile, but pretty sure I just need to go with a heavier oil there.

[@willw3298]

Glad I haven't bought any of those pricey oils so far. Just using plain silicone oil and it's been fine so far. Thanks for testing and giving your thoughts. When I finally do need to buy oil, it'll definitely give me something to think about.

[@chinito3094]

Great comparison and thanks for your honesty. I will not be buying KPL because i find it hard to believe it was a mere oversight. As for the Tuf-Glide applicator, once depleted i would refill the pen with Pro-Shot and have the best of both worlds.

[@dprofessorscritters8762]

Been enjoying this series of reviews 😁. How about a comparison between "non-knife" lubes? Gun oil, machine oil etc. Great stuff as always man🤘😁🤘

[@invisibleshit8479]

With very useful information like this, you deserve a lot more subs

[@bladesandedc]

I agree with you 100%!!! LOL Thanks for watching.

[@mikejurnak4253]

I enjoyed the series 👍🏻

[@bamabladez]

I'm a year old new knife nut. Haven't tried but one it's called Breakthrough all in one. It's a 5 weight oil. Says made in the USA military grade bio synthetic oil. Doesn't gum up. But as far as action idk. It doesn't make it worse. I don't have much experience with other lubricants tho. I would love to see you try it. I was looking to buy one of these "name brand" knife specific oils is why I came to this video. I would also like to see you test just polishing the internals with a metal polish. I use diamond metal polish you get it at Walmart in the car cleaning section. I almost believe that works the best for me. But again not much experience with this. I have also tried the 3in1. Seems a little thick. Good video 👍

[@bladesandedc]

Thank you for the recommendation.

[@Scientist_Salarian]

Ordered some zero friction based on this video, thanks! I really like Battle Born HP Pro for guns and knives, which is about $15/2oz bottle. We’ll see how Zero Friction stacks up.

[@JayL3738]

Hi, have you tried Super Lube 51010 Oil? It's supposed to be good, with PTFE, and Food Safe.

[@tgonzalez1983]

Just ordered pro shot to see how it works out. Almost out of KPL & I have to say “it works well!” $14/ea for that vs $9 pro shot. If it works just as well, I’ll just save the extra $5.

[@bladesandedc]

You also get 3 times the amount of lubricant for less money.

[@sknight0391]

What is the best oil to put on the blade itself, for cleaning & corrosion protection? I have had some strange issues with bead blasted blades & stone washed blade getting a "blotchy" look to them after oiling them. Even having small circular patterns that have a blueish tint them them. What would cause something like this to occur? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks 😎👍

[@bladesandedc]

REM oil works great and it’s very inexpensive. If you’re a gun guy you probably already have some.

[@sknight0391]

@@bladesandedc I think I still have the first bottle of Remoil I ever bought when I got my first shotgun on my 14th birthday. 20g 870 Wing Master. 👍

[@sknight0391]

Daddy told me I couldn't have a gun if I wasn't going to keep it clean and take care of it. As any good parent would do.

[@Antimatter.]

Hi , Thanks for the review, I actually noticed that over a few weeks and taking the knife apart the KPL turns black , The Gunny glide stays clear , I’m gonna try the proshot but how does the proshot smell ? I have Nano oil also , to be honest I feel I get the smoothest action with the gunny glide , I tried it in many knives that needed a little help and the Gunny glide loosened them up the fastest it’s definitely my go to

[@bladesandedc]

The Pro Shot has no odor at all. There is no coffee scent like Gunny Glide though. LOL.

[@jpolhamus71]

I started using gunny glide and its become my favorite.. I have kpl .. its good lube but until they clear up their Shady business practices and prove they make their lube in USA im done with them... they have social media so not hard to prove their claim...

[@Antimatter.]

@@bladesandedc Ha Lol , I know it funny you can get different scents, Mine actually smells like KPL , I didn’t pick a favor 😂

[@Antimatter.]

@@jpolhamus71 I have all my oils next to each other and I always seem grab the Gunny glide , Especially after I seen the KPL turn black , I use WD40 to clean the blades I found out it works even better than alcohol

[@jpolhamus71]

@@Antimatter. thanks for the heads up I was unaware that kpl turns black.. that's weird

[@franks.2544]

Take a quart of any decent low viscosity oil and decant into tiny little bottles = high tech knife lube.

[@bladesandedc]

My thoughts exactly.

[@SpareSpacesuit]

Good to know, I have KPL but might not purchase anymore

[@johnagen3688]

Hoppes 9?

[@darrinjt1]

I've been using gun oil for my folders because it easy to get from Walmart and works good enough for me

[@bladesandedc]

REM oil works great. I do find that with gun oil you need to reapply it more often, but it works as good as any knife oil out there, but the knife oils seem to last longer.

[@gugaporta26]

I was about to buy the kpl I didn’t know which one to buy but once I started listening to you ….. I’ll be putting my money elsewhere, I don’t like how this “bigshots” companies try to squeeze money off of their clients like this stamping the made in USoA on their products when they’re NOT like that used to mean something, shame on you KPL !!!

[@user-mb9dv3ob1z]

Carbon Honey. I’d be curious how that works.

[@bittabrutha31]

KPL says you can put it on the blade also. I don’t know if will make your fruit taste nasty 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@AzTurboMini]

Check out Strike Hold which I use on all of my firearms. You'll have to buy a small bottle with needle cap to put some in as it comes in 8oz bottles. If you have firearms and have previously cleaned your gun with Strike Hold then go have a range day it makes clean up and lube a breeze. I'm also trying some Super Lube. It also comes in a 4oz bottle and you'll need to transfer it into a different bottle also.. You can get it from Amazon and it does come in a pen applicator but it's a lot more expensive per ounce. 👍

[@danieljamesbinderystu2968]

Just an fyi... that middle bottle with the applicator needle tip... is just rebranded and relabeled Tuf glide. I have a TON of Tuf glide in the same EXACT bottle. Looked into it, and it is literally just rebranded " white-labeled" tuf-glide. The tuff glide in the skinny applicator bottle that you said gums up your blades.... that mixture they add a ton of oil to it because the dry Teflon particles were clogging up the applicator tip. So they add alot of extra oil to that particular packaged tuf-glide. Buy tuf-glide in the larger aluminum pump spray bottles, or the tuf-glide that is packaged in LITERALLY the same exact bottle with the red and black label that you had in the middle.

[@CallmeThatch]

I didn’t even realize the false advertising with the swabs, but finding them on amazon took less than 2 mins to figure out how they are selling them and absolutely railing you while doing it.

[@ruudjeufc]

super lube .. made in USA !

[@jdl4808]

Lucas gun oil

[@user-vt4no5nj1x]

セントリー タフフライドが私にとって最も素晴らしいオイルです。私が住んでいる日本では、KPLオイルを手に入れる為に90ドルを支払う必要があります:(

[@sprinkleddonuts6094]

KPL is crap anyway… go with CLP or Gunny Glide

[@TotemoGaijin]

椿油でいいんじゃない？

[@ghiblinerd6196]

Thanks for these videos. I’m gonna stick to mineral oil thanks to you !

[@CNYKnifeNerd]

I'd seriously have to have a gun to my head to buy any kpl product. The amount of thoroughly embraced filth in the knife community is disgusting.

[@bladesandedc]

Same here. What they charge for 10ml is absurd and when you add in their questionable business practices to that price it is a hard pass for me.

[@Mid_Missouri_EDC]

Well when I run out I know what I’ll be buying next.

[@bladesandedc]

You won't be disappointed. It works as well as the others and costs a lot less.

[@edsaban572]

Nano oil smell gasoline.

[@Foo87]

Tbh who cares if KPL are marking up the swabs, if people are stupid enough to purchase them for that price and not do any research its their own fault

[@bladesandedc]

You know what they say about opinions....

[@robotguy864]

Great test and I agree I am unable to tell the difference either. I got a free bottle of Journey Tool Co. Super Syrup so for it works great but nothing “Super” LOL

[@iamnoone6607]

I had the same issue with Tuff Glide. Sticky...I`ve had good results from Kershaw oil. Qtip makes a great applicator, and you get 500 for cheap.

[@user-ws5qn9st3v]

JUST USE NANO OIL,IT LITERALLY IS THE BEST
