How to Maintain a Pocket Knife With Lucas Burnley

[@mt_baldwin]

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).

[@tikkidaddy]

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

[@Leftyotism]

Or use a Q-Tip.

[@drjones762]

Great idea! But a needle-point oil applicator is literally worth its weight in gold.... 😁

[@drjones762]

@@tikkidaddy Damn.... great idea!!! I've been collecting the "cotton balls" that come inside of medications & supplements; soaking those in vaseline, storing them inside of medication bottles.....but yours is a killer idea too!

[@carsonpeterson8210]

That blade centering tip just solved a constant frustration on a couple of my knives

[@Libertarian_Neighbor]

Good stuff 9:38 👍🏻

[@KyKicks23]

Lucas is the most genuine person. How you see him on this video is how he is every time I talk to him. Super down to earth guy that designs and makes beautiful knives.

[@harpinbrad]

The fact hes talking into a mirror is funny, good one

[@chris11683]

Lol 😆

[@FloydBarker]

Lucas is my favorite knife designer his pieces are amazing.

[@Lonewolfmike]

I totally agree with overtightening the pivot. I have done it myself and it is much easier to back off then to try and tighten it to where you want your knife to be.

[@RockyMountainBear]

Honestly I refuse to disassemble my folders unless absolutely necessary. Tiny screws strip too easily, and I can never get it back to exactly three way I like it. Messed up an old (but good) Gerber, but I'll try your tips to see if it will help. Thanks again y'all.

[@ironman2326]

Same. If it's so bad I need to take it apart I'll send it back to Benchmade. They'll disassemble, clean it, and give it a factory edge for free.

[@don0giorgio]

Dedication indicated by the knife tatoo, i like it

[@BoostAndRedline]

I got crazy lock stick on my Spyderco pm2, I’ll go ahead and try the grafite trick on it and see if it will work

[@jpbernie72]

Using compressed air can clear dust and debris. Also, If I’m taking a knife apart for the first time, I will take a few pictures to ensure I properly orient everything upon reassembly.

[@ironman2326]

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.

[@sammysines471]

first auto knife i ever owned, my grandfather (a stereotypical "greaser") gave me a switchblade. it was a little stuck, so he actually dipped the knife in motor oil. seemed to work alright!

[@drjones762]

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!

[@maliktaus5930]

One of my favorite designers, thank you BHQ!

[@chrisdyck6524]

I bought a Lucas Burney Böker plus Kihon stainless steel tanto two days ago and I am absolutely thrilled with the knife.⚔️👍 Thank you Lucas 🫡

[@ajimenez618]

So excited for the CRKT Tuna in 2020!

[@frankyalvarez7160]

When I reassemble a knife I always add oil, washer, then more oil. I found that this method is a lot better in aiding the braking in of a knife and smooths the flipability of the knife.

[@j3o300]

If Nick Shabazz sees this, I'm pretty sure he will say "It needs more lube" 😂😂😂

[@xabalba555]

[@tikkidaddy]

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😂😂

[@thesnakecharmer86]

That's an beautiful knife that Lucas is demonstrating on. What is that?? I must have it!

[@lkfng]

Where can I purchase the driver tools?

[@TylerSnyder305]

All I gotta to is keep my joints oiled and edges keen, and my blades rust free. Maybe occasionally clean lint out of the blade channels, but that's about it. Don't gotta worry about anything else with my traditional folders.

[@WillEDC]

Lots of good info. My preference is I like the knife to drop shut because I like to use a knife as a tool 😉

[@jezzc2535]

Pleas can you do a review on helle knives

[@ILikeToLaughAtYou]

What brand of bits and drivers do you guys recommend? I used the benchmade ones in the plastic folding case and I loved it, but I’ve had it for a good amount of years and it certainly shows. Plus I’m sure that there has to be a better set to use.

[@isrwallace]

Ridog_ I highly recommend getting a micro bit kit used in electronics. They are cheap, have every bit you need and can be used in other things in your life.

[@darylcheshire1618]

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.

[@mitchwells4990]

I carry a Benchmade grizzly ridge I work on a potato farm and have a lot of trouble keeping the action smooth all the dust any advice I don't want to have to oil it every week?

[@fbiopenup6698]

You guys should do a how to on cleaning balisongs

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

I use a toothbrush for cleaning out the small hidden pockets on my knives. Any old toothbrush works, but a child's brush or pet toothbrush works best (slightly smaller, though you can trim any toothbrush to any size).

[@ironman2326]

Same. A little soap on a toothbrush gets my SAKs nice and clean.

[@DailyCarrySolutions]

Great video - saved in my favorites. Awesome advice.

[@improne2fall879]

Do you only lube blade side of your washers?

[@johnsnitzer9287]

im prone2fall some people do that because the washers aren’t supposed to spin and therefore don’t spin on the scale to washer face and only blade to washer. I do it on both sides but it’s really a matter of preference. I usually can’t tell a difference

[@PkwyDrive13]

Duh.. Washers don't move. No point in using lube against the scales. Only the blade moves against the washers

[@CVNOU]

[@rayjrdibenedetto867]

Thanks for the video-where do i get a good set of torx bits for the maintenance ?

[@oneshadowone]

When using a pencil the lead should be a high number it has the highest grade like 6 or above . The lower numbers have more clay and you would be applying an abrasive the best is a pure graphite powder ... by the way what is the brand of the screwdriver that Lucas is using

[@mrBDeye]

This is a good example of two guys who want to look like each other. Only their Moms can tell which one is which.

[@AndWhatISeeIsME]

What are the driver bits Lucas mentioned? I've murdered so many T6s!

[@jmuhr8952]

WIHA bits. Got some myself after killing so many generic ones and they’re well worth the money.

[@WillEDC]

Depends. I like both soft and hard (wiha) depending on the situation. Some cases I don’t want to strip a screw head so I will try with a softer bit first.

[@stephenfewson7188]

so isopropyl alcohol is ok to clean steel? no damage? can I used it for cleaning finger prints?

[@Evan_Schaefering]

Isopropyl is one of the best things you can use. It removes any dirt/grime/oils and evaporates quickly. It's hard to beat it honestly.

[@apptgertrude-nickkate2507]

I've been using 99% isopropyl alcohol (found in pharmacies) as a super general cleaner replacement to good old gaseline, turpentine, lighter fluid, acetone and a other stinky and dangerous products for over 6 years. It has become a workshop essential to me. It works great on removing grease and gunk on all sorts of things, especially chainsaw parts and electronics cleaning. It evaporates ready fast and does not create a tiny rusty film on metal that I'm cleaning.

Can I just use WD-40 to lube?

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

Solomon Li :- Yes, WD-40 is a decent lube for the price. Also can be used as a cleaning fluid, to remove old oil or grease. Also WD-40 helps to prevent stag and bone handle scales (covers) from drying out, shrinking and cracking.
