How to Clean and Maintain Your Knife!

[@IntenseAngler]

Another great tutorial George 👍

[@orendz7740]

I don’t take mine apart unless, something is wrong, to clean. I usually do what the paper work tells ya to do, run it under warm water etc then I’ll blow it out with compressed air and relube.

[@marcausedc9521]

Rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer works as well to take adhesive residue off of blades.

[@disposablehero4911]

91% iso. 50% is about as good as plain water which is to say terrible.

[@jayr526]

Or WD-40.

[@linearswitchguy9593]

never use hand sanitizer, it has a thickening agent in it... lol

[@joeherkenham8144]

What drivers are you using?

[@chickenfoot713]

Awesome video, awesome shoutout to Nick Shabazz and cleaning of Knaf’s Lander 2!!!

Make sure you get good quality hex/torx bits to avoid stripping screws. I don't recommend WD40 for knives - if you cannot afford knife oil, mineral oil will usually suffice. In my kit I also have: 1) A toothbrush to get stubborn dirt off without scratching - although not recommended on true mirror finishes. 2) Rubbing alcohol to really clean the visible parts of the blade & is good for removing fingerprints etc. if needed. 3) Degreaser - not for everyday cleaning but for gunked up pivots or bearings etc. Final step (mostly for carbon blades) is a very light oiling of the blade to prevent corrosion. Sharp blades all.

I use the Chapstick form of loctite. I like it so much better than the messy liquid.

[@clavididk1236]

I just use mineral oil from the dollar store 😎

[@michaelhall3321]

What drivers are those?

[@garyvaughan2648]

Ballistol, Japanese rust eraser and 303

[@MannyMckee-cw5qm]

Blade HQ should make an app!!!!

[@89Interceptor]

i just did this on my 10+ year old griptillian the other day and because my dumbass put way too much loctite on every single screw back when i first got the thing, i stripped almost half of them luckily it was easy enough to find some fancy titanium replacement screws for like $10 and now my knife is just as smooth as the day i bought it. btw it was pretty nasty in there so i really have to do this more often

[@saltylawaia8958]

Is CLP Oil fine?

[@jkurtzz]

Clp is great

[@MastaT]

Ive watched a lot of knife maintenance video's but this is the first ive seen someone wash a knife 🤔

[@disposablehero4911]

As a cleaner 91% ISO is best. Something I've used that is almost as good is called, Super Slick Stuff.

[@stayangrylightningbolt4047]

it aint got no WD-40 innit. lol

[@linearswitchguy9593]

WD-40 isnt a lubricant, its a solvent and its mainly meant for displacing water

[@stayangrylightningbolt4047]

@linearswitchguy9593 its a luber-can...lol idk man googled wd40 and it says it can luber-can.

[@TheMarkedEDC]

Great video! My newest addition to my knife maintenance kit is rubbing alcohol patches. They sell them in like 100 packs for $2 at my local store and it saves me so much time and effort.

[@garys8415]

Glass cleaner.

No. It is time this internet meme died.

[@jasonpitcher7158]

I actually prefer l light coat of grease. That way, I don't have to worry about it all running out.

[@Grumpenfather]

@@jasonpitcher7158 I prefer my knives dirty.

[@jkurtzz]

I don’t use loctite unless the pivot has specific loosening issues. I would generally stay away from loctite, even blue. If you have to just a little bit, but again unless the pivot keeps loosening or the blade centering goes off easily stay away

[@kamilgorecki3561]

Yours videos are getting worse and worse. (Nothing personally with George, hes funny guy) Where's knive banter? Where are Week one Wednesday streams? You're making a 9 min video on how to clean a knive? Come on Blade HQ, be serious.

[@chrisoneill325]

Easiest way to clean your knife - carry a pocket fixed blade

[@solomonkane408]

You shouldn't have to take apart your whole knife for a simple cleaning .

[@jkurtzz]

You don’t have to, but disassembly is definitely the best way to maintenance a knife. If you don’t want to improve the action or don’t care, don’t take it apart…

[@carlosvelasco1766]

Shabazz an OG 🤛🏼, but LTK over @LuvThemKnives also does a lot of knife disassembly content!
