Maintenance

Knife Pivot Lube's Original is a 15 WT, fully-synthetic oil made for use in knives anywhere ultimate long-lasting smoothness is a must.

Pivot Lube™ keeps dirt, metal particles, and grit in suspension™ so they don't cause grinding and premature wear.  KPL actually cleans your pivot as you use it.

We recommend our Original formula for all knife uses including:
• On all moving parts of any folding knife
• On flipper-deployed knives
• On detent tracks and bearings
• For knife disassembly, cleaning and lubrication
• As a rust preventive blade coating

KPL Heavy™ is a higher viscosity 75 WT version of the KPL you know and love.  Heavy is highly thixotropic/shear thinning formula designed specifically for knife detents and detent tracks.  Ordinarily gel-like, each time your lock mechanism clicks into place, the shock refluidizes KPL Heavy allowing it to refresh the lubrication of your detent ball.

Pivot Lube™ in this weight is recommended anywhere high sliding friction prevention is required.

• On detent tracks and detent balls
• On heavyweight blades and large folders
• On balisong (butterfly) knives
• On all knives where extreme water-resistance is required

KPL Ultra-Lite is a 5 WT, fully-synthetic oil made for use in knives anywhere ultimate long-lasting smoothness is a must. Knife Pivot Lube Knife Oil keeps dirt, metal particles, and grit in suspension so they don't cause grinding and premature wear. KPL actually cleans your pivot as you use it.

Pivot Lube™ in Ultra-Lite weight is recommended anywhere minimum fluid resistance is critical:

• Knives with Bearing Pivots
• Out-The-Front Knives
• Automatics (Switchblades)
• Traditional Folders
• Lightweight and fast deploying blades

These washable and re-usable swabs feature ultra-fine microfiber bristles that grab dirt and dust like magical magnets, removing them far more effectively than cotton swabs.

These plastic swabs feature extremely precise 1.0 mm tips allowing them to reach into the finest recesses of your knife with ease.

For the knife caretakers among us, this swab set is the ultimate tool for obtaining a totally clean knife without disassembly.

Knife Shield is your blade’s invisible bodyguard; cleaning, protecting, and preserving in one step. This water-based formula breaks down tape residue, oils, and grime while leaving behind a thin, corrosion-resistant barrier that shields your steel without buildup or streaking.

Unlike traditional solvents, Knife Shield is non-toxic and food safe, making it just as at home on your EDC folder as it is on your kitchen knife. It dries fast, bonds cleanly to the surface, and keeps your blade ready for use without any greasy feel.

Built for everything from daily carry to long-term storage, it protects against rust at the molecular level, helping prevent oxidation before it ever gets a foothold.

If you carry it, cut with it, or collect it, this is how you protect it.
