White Lightning question
White Lightning question
I have seen White Lightning mentioned as a lubricant in the Forum. Is this the same as the parafin based lubricant that bicyclists use,or is it a different product?

The dealer that I usually purchase my knives from uses the bicycle (thicker) formula for his display knives. I purchased the "modified" folding tools version (thinner)expecting the same performance but was disappointed with the results. The ratio of solvent-to-wax favored the former too much and left my knife wet for a number of days (and, yes, I did shake the bottle as much as practical).
I am reluctant to use the rest of the bottle and am considering either buying the bicycle version (thicker formula) or something else like Tuff-Glide or Rem-oil.
See if someone can provide you with a few complimentary squirts before you buy.

That seems odd to me. I have never had a problems with it staying wet, it always dries pretty quickly for me. I haven't used it a lot, but I have used it on several occasions.
I have had pretty good luck with Remoil myself, but I think I may pick up some Militec-1 when I get a chance.
Sal, Do you have any recommendations on lubricants?
