- Maintaining your knives is fun! Mostly. You may be involved in an epic battle with some stripped screws, or a gritty not so buttery smooooth action. But you've got this. Don't let a couple threads push you around. Fight back.

I keep an oiled microfiber cloth in a ziplock bag for oiling blades. Just hit the cloth with about 25 drops. It soaks in and distributes evenly. Wash when needed and re-oil the cloth every 3 months. Works great for fingerprints on handguns as well
Big brain Brian. Definitely trying this.
Great tip
Awesome tip, thanks for sharing this Brian.
Just bought my first knife today. Just a $6 Ozark from Walmart, but it is perfect for a beginner. I want to learnt to sharpen myself and keep things nice before I buy something nice. I love your blades, and will definitely look into them when I plan on making a purchase. Thanks for the info.
Will remeber to use my friend's t shirt.
That sharpener is what I use and your technique of oiling is also the same😁. Great video Ben!!!😁👍
Great minds think alike!
Been carrying the Lander every day since getting it. Awesome knife, thanks for creating it! Plus I love that it deals with the moon and space.
Thanks for that feedback Frank! We truly appreciate it!
I LOVE my Lander, such a great design. Although I'm biased as I have all of Ben's designs and love them all in their own way.
I know this video isn’t recent but if Ben happens to read this. The knafs products are awesome! Keep it up! Been using the tool burrito & bit driver all the time. Don’t have the lander but plan to get the lander 2! Hopefully it has a lanyard post. Easier for me to draw deep carry knives with it!
Great tips, thanks for sharing. Knife Peeping is the new order of the day!!!
Watch nerd over here. Love your Timex.
Great tips Ben. Thanks for sharing these and the quick demonstrations.
I have all of your knives (apart from the Lander 2) and they're so easy to maintain. They're a joy to use and carry.
I wash my blade after every use. And I alcohol the blade regularly too to keep it clean. You never know when you're doing to need to cut food.
I use mineral oil to lubricate my Swiss Army knife pivots. Gun oil seizes up the blades.
Glad to know i am not the only one that strops my knives on zoom calls hahah😂
Added tip related to your tips 1 and 2. Added some benchmade blue cleaner to the pivot and blow it out with canned air before adding oil. The canned air is also good for cleaning out other parts of the knife. I do this about once a month for most of my knives and have never had to disassemble to clean
The less disassembly required the better. Sounds like a good system.
Canned air (or a compressor hand gun if you're lucky to have access to one) is great for clearing out between the scales.
It's a great tip Jooky.
@@SussexEDC thanks!
Priceless, thank you for the heads up, loves your work
For a light cleaning of a knife, use a cotton swab, fabric swatch, or canned air to blow the pocket-lint out. A drop of oil on the pivot won't hurt also.
Great advice Bryan
Cotton buds between the scales work great. I do this on my knives too and it really helps.
Just be careful no cotton fibres get caught around the pivot.
thank u sir
Great advice. Thanks!
You bet!
Great video Ben!
Glad you enjoyed it
That is some great knowledge on maintaining your knife, wish I knew about this stuff when I was younger.
I think thats something we all wish we had, thanks for the feedback!
When is the lander button lock going to be released or is knafes going to release a tanto blade
No plans for either ATM unfortunately. Doesn't mean it cant happen though.
Thanks love my lander use it every day
I like the idea of oiling the blade, is there a food safe oil you recommend?
Food safe mineral oil is great. -Ben
