Hi guys.
I apologise for the long absence and not posting.
Shortly after my birthday my beloved Jude became ill and was diagnosed with secondary cancer of the liver. We are still looking for the cause and it seems the primary source is the cervix. At the moment the outlook is bleak! We are still ...

Hi Jack. I used the 5 along the lock bar pivot and tang first and let it work in. Then used the 10 on spring and tang. So it may well have thinned, ( or thickened however you look at it :) ). This is the reason I bought the 2 types from Christian. The thinned/thickened oil may seep better. But my ...

Hi Jack. Thanks for the comments. I put some 5 and 10 nano oil in today on the pivot and tang. Also in the very small gap between liners and lock bar.

Sorry if my question is a little naive, I'm a little new to this.

Hi guys. My name is Steve and I've been in the background on here and Bladeforums and thought I'd introduce myself and hopefully pry some information from you at the same time. No agenda like lol.

Well after much debate I've chosen the Native 5 as my first ever Pocket knife bar my Swiss army Swiss ...
