Knife Maintenance
Hi,
What is the right oil to use to lubricate my folder.
How do I clean my knives properly?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Knife Maintenance
Lots of thoughts regarding this.
I prefer a very light coating of Ballistol on my blades as it is food safe (in my view of the term) and works okay in preventing rust.
I also use it on the pivot with good results.
As for cleaning, I think a sonic cleaner is probably the best bet. Me I just get in there with tissue paper and cotton swabs.Sent electronically, thus not signed.

I use RAM just spray, spray it lekker wipe off. Dove ear bud to reach the difficult places and carry on.

Re: Knife Maintenance
Quick release oil for pivot lubrication, ear buds for lint... if pivots "crunchy" open and close the blade repeatedly while submerged in soapy water followed by excessive rinsing, drying and oiling

Re: Knife Maintenance
Thank for the suggestions. I can't seem to find where to buy any of the products online. I'm in Cape Town. Any suggestions?

Sweet Ballistol, Ram not so much.

Re: Knife Maintenance
What kind of knife? I strip mine completely two to three times a year, wash everything in sunlight and reassemble with lubricants. I have used grease, 3in1, olive oil, Q20. Basically anything which lubricates.
