I just received my knife and it is very snug in its sheath. what type of oil do i use to lubricate it?

I use 3 in 1 oil myself. A good grade of gun will work also. Remember, it is to prevent rust and corrosion and help with a little bit of lubrication on the blade and sheath.

A good lithium spray-on or BreakFree CLP, both on the blade and the leaf springs in the sheath. It is supposed to be very snug, as to hold the knife in the sheath without snapping the strap.

Almost any good oil will do. Anything from food grade mineral oil to used or new motor oil isn't going hurt. Keep it off the neoprene rubber of the handle. The sheath uses two flat springs to clasp the blade. I use marine grade bearing grease on this sort of thing as well. I'm not expecting to use my bayonet for food preparation. The rubbery material of the handle is the vulnerable portion. White lithium spray can grease is good too.It's great for locks and keys. I do not recommend bear grease. The bear will resent it.

Any gun oil or light oil such as 3 in 1 oil will work to keep the rust away. However if it is to be used on or around food, do not use gun oil, mineral oil should be used instead.

There is a distinct click when I sheath the blade. & by far one of the tights hugs on a blade I have. I have turned the knife upside down on mine & shook it several times without it falling out.

You need to get a Penetrating oil/fluid (which WD-40 is NOT) and soak the knife in it for a couple of hours. Or, since the tool is stainless you can also try soaking it in warm, soapy water for a while. Once you get the tool opened up, THEN souse 'er down good with the WD-40.It sounds to me like someone's maybe peeled a sugary fruit with the knife blade, and let that juice run down in all the crevices and then put the tool up without cleaning it good first. You'll get it squared away, no doubt.Good luck.

The one I have has a brown leather sheath with a snap near the guard and a loop cord that fits in the brass hole in the handle I loop around the tip to keep it secure. It is one of my favorite sheath knives by the way. I hope this helps.

It is made for the knife and is very, very tight. You should stretch it first.

Yeah brother, looks like 1.5 is maybe max for my leather sheath, but let me warn you, it's REALLY TIGHT. You'll need to "break it in" w/ a leather protectant like Lexol, mink oil, maybe even Vaseline. I'm going w/ a nylon black aftermarket (NiteEyes (sp?) or maybe a Black MUT sheath.

What can I do, I already complained that my sheath doesn't fit properly with the knife but I got no responce. I love the knife but I haven't been able to carry it while camping, way too dangerous without a proper sheath

I purchased the style and craft sheath and it works great after it's broke in! Cheap to..http://www.amazon.com/Style-Craft-94-027-Campers-Sheath/dp/B00CHFCDHO/ref=pd_sim_86_5?ie=UTF8&dpID;=41exbN3A08L&dpSrc;=sims&preST;=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID;=1S4GEZ4VSWKVXD88CQM6

most premium solvents have an oil in them. I use two snakes and one is for cleaning and one is for oiling, however I do not oil the bore unless the weapon is to be stored for a while unused.

I agree withKM2014.I have two of these little brutes and I left the original lanyards on them.You could try a product such as "Breakaway" to coat the sheath where the knife is held securely.This way the knife could be drawn out and not break the ball-chain. Too much lubricant could make the knife too loose in the sheath. I would leave it alone.

I use a scraper like this http://www.amazon.com/Pampered-Chef-Nylon-Scrapers-Brown/dp/B001BX017W, followed by wiping it down with a damp, not wet, cloth. Periodically we put an oil similar to this on it. http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Products-BBB012-Butcher-12-Ounce/dp/B004G6X0J2 Hope this helps.

Try this - Tandy Leather Large Knife Sheath Kit 44123-00 Or you could always have a Kydex sheath made up.

I have not been able to find a replacement sheath for this or any other knife that I have bought on amazon. My recommendation is to contact the manufacturer directly. Your only other option is to do as I have and get the necessary materials and make your own.

Yes, but it is not recommended. Your knife will not open freely after a while. Please understand that this lubricant is primararily for firearms with very hot moving parts. For your knife, I would recommend any silicone spray lubricant.

You should not have this problem. Sometimes a drop of oil may help, use as little as possible as it can cause it to gum up later. Be careful, once the knife loosens up it should be fine.

I use a light coat of 3 in 1 oil, however, you will still have sharpen it. For that I use the Corona sharpening tool which is also in expensive and works well.
