Re: Which side of the washer should be lubed

If I take it apart, which it sounds like that's what you're doing, I'll put it back together with 2-3 very small dots of 10w Nano-Oil on each side of each washer. I want just enough to be effective, but not so much that it's going to attract a ton of lint. But as others have said, lubrication is of...

Re: Which side of the washer should be lubed

I lube both sides of the washers for good measure. I've tried graphite lube and wasn't impressed. I use plain old Vaseline or Phil Wood bearing grease. Vaseline now there's an idea, stays in place, film strength and safe. Currently I use it on speedsafe knives because I hate the smell of industrial...

Re: Which side of the washer should be lubed

I usually use motor oil in a syringe. Personally I feel baby oil is too thin, there is no film strength. Try putting a drop of mineral oil and motor in between you thumb and index finger now squeeze and rub. You'll find that mineral oil get displaced and you can feel your skin rubbing vs the motor o...

Re: Para 2 as EDDC

Is the little Spyderco emblem on the blade a different color if the blade is black coating vs. DLC? In looking at various images online, I see different color emblems (one grey and the other white) and I assume it must be because of the different coating. Perhaps it's just different lighting in the...

Which side of the washer should be lubed

So I was wondering which side of the washers should I apply lubricant, between the washer and the blade or between the washer and the frame?
Maybe the knife was designed to function one way over the other.
I was also thinking of using a spray graphite lubricant. Any thoughts on that?

Re: Tip up or down

I used to rotate the way I carry my knives. I came to the conclusion that tip down just works. You pinch it at the top, pull it out and your thumb is already at the deployment hole vs tip up where you have to rotate your knife and do some adjusting to get to the deployment hole. Sometimes the clips ...
