    Good class. Needed. Thank you. Boy Scouts: I was a Cub Scout starting in 1961. Boy Scouts in 1965. Senior and Explorer Scouts in 1969. Adult Leadership from 1971 to 1983. To this day, I have friends all over the World I met and camped with through Scouting. One of the most prized gifts you can ever give to a Scout is a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. With a wood saw, of course. I give Victorinox Swiss Army Knives as gifts.

      As an Eagle scout, I 100% agree the Victorinox Swiss Army knife with the saw was almost Magical, in what it could do. I taught wilderness survival merit badge, for over night survival a couple of kids would just bring their SAK , (Kept an eye on them JIC) but the overnight survival shelters they made with just a knife would've made Daniel Boone proud . One was so good I used it as an example of what you can do to survive with minimum tools.

      @CristiNeagu knives? We give them guns! Trained in responsible use. America, unlike the United Kingdom, is a big place under the Federalist system of fifty "countris." You don't need a knife to slice someone to death, anyway. Illegal Mexican gang members sliced one man to death with broken glass bottles! I personally give knives of various kinds, highest quality, as gifts. And firearms as gifts. All within the law. I am in a conservative area of my state and country, mostly rural. Most families intact with both parents. A lot of former military. What you see in the news is mostly propaganda quality disinformation. Not only was I an advanced trauma paramedic for over 32 years, but I was also trained as a SWAT medic. I knew and know what went on. I remember junior and senior high students bringing firearms to school, keeping them loaded in their lockers so they could hunt after school. Years ago. You need to get out more often.

      You also don't waste any oil clearing the air bubble.
      My wife has a diabetic dog and so we have small syringes.
      Personally I favor Jaymor's oil which is food safe and yet so effective that railroad companies use it for the track switch plates and purchase it in 55 gallon drums.
      A major advantage of Jaymor's is that it eliminates any galling issues with aluminum, and given that the spacers in out knives are aluminum, that is helpful. Jaymor's is also beneficial for leather and rubber parts and sheaths.

    For my SAK's and other knives, for many, many years, I have been using food grade mineral oil for cutting boards or mineral oil from the pharmacy and have had no issues with it. It has yet to get sticky; stays as oily as the day I applied it. It is cheap too. As for applying the oil on my knives and other tiny spaces, I have been using syringes with blunt tip needles. I also use the CA glue micro tip kits with bottles and trim them to length as needed.
    Both of these application items can be found on Amazon. The last time I purchased them, I got a CA glue application set with 320 tips and 10 bottles. As for the syringes, I got a kit with 30 syringes of various sizes from 1ml to 20ml and needles ranging from 14ga to 25ga.
    These applicators come in handy for a lot more than just knives.

    Very well explained, as always - and the syringe fits very well in your hands, thanks a lot, Dr. Felix!
    Just to say it because it fits to the syringe: using a syringe and a fine needle is not only the perfect solution for oiling knives and other metal things but also a great way to apply superglue (Sekundenkleber, cyanacrylate).
    Wouldn't suggest to apply that stuff to your knives, of course, but whereever else you might need it ...

    Interesting comparison video on primarily European oils. I've maintained both blades and firearms for over six decades. Have easily tested/used/rejected over 75 various products over these years. My top three I use and recommend are as follows:
    #3. Balistol
    #2. Clenzoil
    #1. Eagle Tears
    Many of my knives are carbon steel, and I have only two stainless steel firearms, everything else is blued steel. Eagle Tears products are food grade, natural oils, and safe on skin. However, it's ability to lubricate, preserve steel, and do it safely gets my vote. Where I live, the average humidity is 65%. And I've seen zero rust ever.
    Well, that's my two cents worth on oils.

    G'day Felix. Thank you for a great video. In regards to your syringe trick, you can buy blunt needles called a Drawing Up needle, which are much safer. Alternatively, you can buy small (around 30ml) soft plastic bottles with a blunt needle applicator at most art and craft stores. I have been using these for years when cleaning and lubricating fishing reels. Thanks.

    The Böker oil pen is phenomenal! That's my go-to..but I also use medium viscosity reel oils, sewing machine oils, KPL dry lube, nano oil, Victorinox oil..
    Ballistol is good, but I have developed such an aversion to the smell that I can't stand it anymore 😅
    My most used oils are the Böker oil and Opinel maintenance oil (which is also food safe).
    I also use a syringe for the Opinel oil.. with a precision glue applicator for super accurate application.
    ..also, less is more when it comes to knife lubrication!

The KPL is also very expensive, the "Dry Lube"..but that one is actually very good for open and exposed knives..it doesn't attract lint and dirt like other oils, so the price is more justified.

    Seem to be a big headache for you to oil your knife. My favorite way to do that for years: Open all tools from the knife, put my knife under the water and wash it, dry the knife, put my index finger to the rapeseed oil bottle, put some drops into the axis of tools, open and close tools few time, take the exceed of oil with a towel.

    I use nano oil.
    From the website:
    These lubricants contain microscopic particles that act as ball bearings.
    These ‘Nano Bearings’ are only 0.090 micron in size. Because of this, Nano-Oil does not only lubricate well on day 1, it will continue to lubricate even after it has dried. An advantage is that when it has dried it won’t attract any dust. Great when you are carrying a pocket knife in your pocket on a daily basis. Nano-Oil has been used for many years for many different industrial purposes. From lubricating ball bearings in factories to keeping pistons in diesel engines running. Engineers have already called Nano-Oil WD40 on steroids

    Camelia oil is around for hundreds of years, but the Japanese mostly use fixed blade knives - I'm not sure, how well it works on folding knives. I tried it and so far I have no complaints.
    Use it on wooden handles and chopping boards as well.
    The syringe trick is very useful - for safety you should grind a steeper angle and rounded edges to the tip.
    BTW: if a spray oil is your favorite, you can use the syringe too - just spray some oil into a small container and suck it up.
    My special trick: if you want to apply only a tiny droplet, place the tip on the designated spot while holding the syringe at the 'pusher', then DO NOT PUSH, just cover the syringe body with your fingers and the oil will expand from the warmth

    If you like a spray type oil but want it as a liquid, place the nozzle in a container covered with plastic wrap. Spray out a quantity then you can put it in a syringe or dropper-bottle. I honestly don't have a favorite knife oil and I use whatever I have on hand. It all seems to work OK in preventing the direct metal-against-metal contact you need to avoid. And if renewed as needed it will all keep rust away.

    Hello, Felix!
    Great video on lubricant options & applications for folding knives.
    The Victorinox Multi-Tool Oil is my go-to choice (for all the qualities you stated). I also like its low-profile - allowing it to fit a small kit pouch; and its applicator is quite good.
    For other oils that are bottled... I can see where the medical syringe can be a handy and more precise tool to apply the oil to the knife folders and multi-tools.
    For those who do not want to use a needled syringe... perhaps a lab pipette would be an option to consider.
    There are lab pipettes that are made of flexible plastic for use with oils and liquids applications (e.g, soap making, essential oils, etc.). Most have graduated markings and can be used for precise application. There are a variety of gauges (based on user needs), and most can be cleaned and reused.
    Plastic pipettes are also inexpensive, portable, and can easily fit into a small maintenance kit for on-the-go adventures.
    Happy Trails!

    Thank you very much for this sharing.
    Personally, I was very fearful by the idea to use an oil not good to be ingested, so I always used alimental oil, like sunflower one.
    But sunflower oil becomes sticky after days. It's not good for th lubrification.
    But recently I discovered that traditional watchmakers used almond oil.
    So now I use it for my folding knives. And it is not too expensive, and it seems that it works correctly.

I know it as "Geizhals Tropfenöler", you also will find it on Wikipedia as "Punktöler". Still available in aluminium and and even stainless steel. My one-stop solution were oil is needed, not only folding knifes. :-)

    Another great video! Hoppes used to sell a small oil bottle with needle applicator. A few things to note when using medical syringes. First, be safe, of course don’t use needles someone has used before with blood. Don’t try to put caps on needles as you can stick yourself. Dispose of them in a thick plastic jug like a detergent bottle, and label it “sharps.” Needles come in different gauges with smaller or larger openings, so be aware of that.

      A blunt tip can be had with a few seconds work using a fine file. I do that to any syringe needles around the house/workbench.
      Use water in the syringe and keep positive pressure on the plunger while you file to prevent shavings from getting into the cannula.
      If you can, take the needle off of the syringe to fill it.
      20 G is pretty small for a viscous oil, but penetrating oils are fairly thin. I have larger bore needles for glue and other thicker liquids.
      Syringes make great applicators for fine work and very small spaces.
      btw: Nice lesson, Felix. Happy Father's Day.

    I appreciate your efforts for the knife community, but I won't always repeat everything after someone. I have three types of Finish line bicycle grease - ceramic, Teflon, synthetic. There are also several types of other technical lubricants - synthetic, Teflon, silicone. I have a spray for degreasing brake discs, which I use to wash the knife bearings, and dust spray. I use synthetics for the liner-lock and bearings, and to protect against moisture, I wipe some parts with silicone spray. I haven't watched your SAK cleaning video yet, but if I ever need to clean a Victorinox SAK, I'll use my wife's ultrasonic cleaner.

    You can get a very large container of mineral oil and put it in the small containers with the needle point applicator. It is also food safe. I use the more expensive oil made for knives on just the pivot washers then the cheaper mineral oil everywhere else.

    You should try blunt tip needles. Less risk of stabbing yourself. Personally, I use fishing reel oil, specifically Abu Garcia oil. I have a pen type applicator, with a narrow tip. It's a nice, light oil, and good for this purpose.
    And if you think that Victorinox oil is expensive, you don't want to know how expensive oils are for that other very Swiss hobby: watchmaking 😄

    Das Kamelienöl ist mir, als ehemaligem Industriemechaniker, auch noch ein Begriff. Weiterhin hatten wir "auf Arbeit" früher noch "Knochenöl" für Feinmechanische Anwendungen. Das wurde sogar in mechanischen Uhrwerken verwendet.
    Bienenwachs könnte auch noch brauchbar sein für Klappmesser, aber man müßte das Messer dafür wohl erwärmen, sodaß das Wachs ins Gelenk laufen kann. Abgesehen davon, hab ich, so glaub ich zumindest, meine Klappmesser nie geölt oder gefettet. Öl und Fett hat ja auch die Eigenart Staub "festzuhalten", was bei Taschenmessern und anderen Sachen die nicht Staubgeschützt sind, eher ein Nachteil ist.
    Aber ich bin trotzdem, grundsätzlich immer interessiert an lebensmittelechten und nicht verharzenden Schmiermitteln, die mir noch nicht geläufig sind.

    I use the same "trick" because I work with syringes and needles everyday. But recently i switched to blunt needles, 21 and 19 gauge. I strongly reccomend them if you don't like injecting stuff into your skin. And it will happen at some point...
