Hooooo boy. This one's a doozy. But not in a bad way.
The Ganzo Firebird FH13 knife is absolutely BLOWING my mind. D2 steel, ball bearing action, frame lock, and deep carry clip... all for $27.50.
Look out budget knives... this one is coming for you.

Cleaning / Lubrication:
Knife Pivot Lube (Apply to bearings, washers, detent tracks, etc... to protect parts and create a smoother action): amzn.to/3mhEYME
Frog Lube Cleaner, Lubricant, Protectant (Primarily applied to blades / steel liners to prevent rust): amzn.to/2RkAk2i
Disposable Cotton Cleaning Patches (A small and disposable medium to apply cleaning products to): amzn.to/32tla0M
70% Rubbing Alcohol (for getting rid of gunk): amzn.to/3bXkynt
Cotton Swabs / Q-tips (For getting rid of gunk in tight spaces): amzn.to/3hzNGCA
Assembly / Disassembly (Drivers / Bits):
I STAND BY WIHA! WIHA provides hardened steel bits - and for those of you who are new to this - hardened steel bits are critical to ensure you don't strip bits and get in a nasty situation where your knife is half-disassembled and your bit no longer works! Do NOT buy those cheap 50-piece kits that come with "everything" for like $10. They will not last you, you will regret it.
Wiha 75981 | 7 Piece Pocket Clip MicroBit Set (Small set with bits and driver - arguably all you need): amzn.to/35xwmeU
Wiha 75988 | 10 Piece Torx MicroBits Set (Bit set, in case you need more bits): amzn.to/3itzpZj
Wiha 75992 System 4 Precision Interchangeable Bit Set, Torx, Slotted, Phillips, Hex Inch, ESD Safe Precision Handle, 27 Piece In Compact Box (Bigger set for... MORE stuff): amzn.to/2GYM34E
Wiha 75965 Precision Micro Bit Ratchet Steel Storage Box, 65-Piece (Biggest set for... MOST stuff): amzn.to/35yjlSn
Blade Sharpening / Polishing:
The KME sharpening kit might seem a bit pricey at first, but in my opinion it is 1) Much more affordable that its competitors, 2) Insanely simple to use, and 3) A small price to pay for nearly-indefinite self-sharpening for all of your knives. You can also create your own "stones" using balsa wood and diamond compound to give yourself a mirror edge at a fraction of the KME polishing accessories prices.
KME Precision Sharpening Kit (Basic kit, can reprofile edges as well as get them razor sharp, no expertise needed): amzn.to/2ZzVwGa
5k grit to 100k grit Diamond Polishing Compound (for mirror edges): amzn.to/2Fs1O3t
Balsa Wood (To apply diamond compound to and use with KME system): amzn.to/3izk21C
