Re: Power Lock

I would love to see something in the XL category like the Tatanka. Maybe a Shempp Rock folder with it.

Re: Salt knives pivot lube ?

If you're comfortable with disassembly a waterproof grease. Tungsten disulfide is also a favorite of mine.

Re: Forum search turned up nothing: How do you lubricate the washers on Manix 2 LW?

These threads are always rife with misinformation. Good lubricant post cleaning makes am extremely smooth knife. Some of my favorites are Royal Purple Synfilm, Weapon Shield CLP, Archoil AR-4400. All produce a silky drop shut action even when the pivot is at its tightest.

Re: Manix clicking

Titanium is a horrible cage material, it's galling. You need lots of good lubrication.

Re: I'm falling out of love with the Compression Lock

Yeah, they could employ the button lock feature on about any design. Risk is the accidental closure from pressing it.

Re: Sal, any word on a Caribbean XL?

What would be interesting is a Powerlock LC200N folding Shempp Rock type knife in the Tatanka territory. That would be an absolute grail, I have been converted to Cold Steel XLs.

Re: Natural Knife Lubricant

Food grade PAO oil, Super Lube comes to mind, Archoil AR-4400 is a great nano lubricant as well.

Re: Just ordered some Nano Oil *cough snake oil cough*

If you want a real nano lubricant look into Archoil AR-4400 lp. It's an amazing knife lubricant and uses nano Tungsten Disulfide suspended in PAO synthetic oil. It's non toxic and all that as well.
