A tip for those that don't have an oil needle applicator: use a wood toothpick, dipping it into the oil will cause a little drop to stick onto the tip, the drop will come off when you press the toothpick on wherever you want the oil to be. Use the same toothpick repeatedly, the oil saturates the wood and makes the oil stick onto it easier (plastic doesn't work good, oil falls off too quickly).
@tikkidaddy2 жыл бұрын
For a quick easy booster in emergency fire making when camping etc. Soak a bunch of toothpicks in high proof alcohol 91% or higher. Keep it in a container suitable and small enough. They will take a spark instantly let alone flame and it burns long enough to get your small twigs going

I use it regularly. Blowing out my knives weekly keeps me from having to take them apart and do major cleanings. Every now and then I'll take a toothbrush and soap to my SAKs but using the compressed air regularly makes those cleanings a lot simpler and don't have to do them as often.

Pro Tip: Foam swabs are bar none some of the most epic, amazing tools you can buy for maintaining any & all of your gear! Guns, knives; everything. Get large & small ones, and you can get into all the nooks & crannies without leaving lint / debris from paper towels, q-tips, etc. You can even swab inside the handle of a folding knife, ensure that area gets lubed & protected. Amazing little tools & so dirt cheap!

When I got my presale Cold Steel voyager XL PE Vaquero, everybody said "Oh its not " drop shutty" ...it was all I heard "Triad sux" etc. So I shoved the pivot full of Lucas Red N Tacky #2, worked it until it felt better. Washed the grease out completely with WD40. Got all that out and then finally lubed it with SEAFOAM DEEP CREEP. On Christmas Eve 3 years ago that knife with a horrible action dropped shut slick as owl shizz on a glass door knob and hit my right index knuckle as I was closing it. I had to super glue my finger shut after pouring it full of alcohol. That knife is still right, still drops shut, still centered and its 3 feet away...looking at me funny😂😂

Regarding pivot adjustment, do you recommend Loctite to hold the pivot screw in the half turned loose position? My problem is that I have a Quietcarry Waypoint and I thought the blade was a little stiff. I relubricated the pivot but realized all I needed to do was just loosen the screw slightly. One strip down video suggested to use Loctite. I only used light machine oil but I’ve ordered KPL which is coming next week.
