For those that prefer to run their pivots dry to avoid attracting dust and dirt, we introduce KPL Dry Film™. DRY FILM™ goes on as a liquid, but quickly flashes off to leave behind a 100% dry fluorinated layer. Unlike competing products, Dry Film has no liquid or waxy components to attract dust or lint. In fact, the low surface energy of dry film prevents particulates from attaching themselves to metal surfaces and makes them less likely to attract themselves to your knife parts.
A non-toxic, dirt repellent, sub-micron dry film lubricant utilizing ultra concentrated pure fluorinated lubricant - smoother and without the toxic smell of competing technologies.
Our food-grade solvent base incorporates fast evaporating high-molecular weight liquids with extremely low viscosities.
These fluid properties permit the suspension to flow in an extremely thin laminar boundary layer removing even the smallest contaminants from knife substrates.
Seconds later, liquids flash off, leaving behind pure fluorinated dry film consisting of particles no larger than 0.5μm - even on microscopic surface textures.
KPL Dry Film - lowest surface energies of any dry lubricant on the market. Double-action formula removes particulates to semiconductor-fab standards and replaces them with a dry film application in one step! REACH compliant, eco-friendly.

Customer photo review of KPL Dry Film™

Just used the dry lube in combination with skiff bearings on my project x and it isnt shake shut anymore. It glides shut. Also the kpl dryvlube ELIMINATED a small amount of lock stick. Great stuff.

Good knife maintenance starts with great maintenance products. Knife Shield-excellent cleaner and inhibitor. Dry Film-superior dry lube leaving no residue. Use these and your maintenance becomes easier and quicker. Both have enhanced the care for my blades and will continue to.

Customer photo review of KPL Dry Film™

This KPL dry film is some fantastic stuff, my Kershaw Belair with KVT bearings and a couple of drops of KPL dry film has a scarry fast blade deployment. I was contemplating on loosening the pivot screw slightly to smooth out and release the blade tension but backed off that idea and went shopping for some bearing lube and stumbled across KPL dry film, so I purchased a bottle and waited patiently for the arrival of this liquid Gold, glad I did, this dry film definitely made a HUGE difference in the function of my Kershaw. For those looking for a superior product to keep your pocket knives is smooth working order, give KPL a try first, you'll be glad you did! To all at KPL, Thank you and I look forward to purchasing from you folks again soon! Kind regards, Eric Dee

Customer video review of KPL Dry Film™

I am the owner of Veff Sharpening Service and I have been operating since 1989. In the past 34 years I've tried dozens of so called miracle lubricants for knives and scissors. Most of them worked about as well as 3-in one oil which is not very impressive. I have been using KPL lubes for about 4 months and have found them to be far superior to any and all other oils that I have used. The KPL 15Wt is ideal for the vast majority of knives. The KPL Dry Lube is excellent for professional hair styling shears as well as any knives that you would prefer to use a dry lube. Thanks for a great product that lives up to its claims. Best regards, Tom Veff

The new Microtech Ram-Lok knives use multi row bearings to support the blades and KPL Dry Film works beautifully!!! I’ll be experimenting with other applications soon. Very pleased with the product.

This is the best dry film lube I have ever used. Goes on easy and smooth, dries quickly, and most importantly makes my knives feel like a million bucks!

Works well. All of the KPL products I have used are great. The fine needle applicator allows you to not apply too much.

Customer photo review of KPL Dry Film - Holiday Gift Box Release

Just finished sharpening the kitchen knives. Used the Knife Shield on the blades, it cleaned off the blades great and left them looking nice. Also used the Camellia Knife Oil on some of my cast iron cookware. I just purchased a remake based off an 1879 wrench, used the Dry Lube on the threads to help keep dust and dirt off the threads. Next is off to clean and re-lube the folders in my collection.

Great stuff drys quickly

KPL Dry Film™

Great combo with oil for washer pivot knives.

KPL Dry Film™

The best for bearings, super satisfied!

KPL Dry Film™

Flows into where it needs to be, then evaporates to a film that keeps on working. Does not attract lint and dirt.

KPL Dry Film™

I don't have a knife, but this lube makes me want to buy one. I bought this because I wanted to keep the bearings of my fidget toys lubricated and it worked, obviously. But since it's dry, it didn't attract pocket lint. They also gave me a free original knife oil

KPL Dry Film™

Very early since purchase to yet judge

KPL Dry Film™

Hi-tech dry lube that goes on wet. Works likeable champ!!

KPL Dry Film™

My recent order was incorrectly fulfilled. However, once I notified Ryan at KPL, he not only immediately and without question, set things right but was very generous, exceeding my every expectation; demonstrating a level of customer service that is very rare indeed in today’s retail environment. I have now have used all the KPL products. I believe there is nothing comparable in Canada. I’m very satisfied with their performance, even in all kinds of applications other than knives. For example, they are great for lubricating fishing reels, folding Silky saws and I now use the KPL DRY FILM on my exterior deadbolt locks to prevent them from freezing up in winter. Robert from Manitoba, Canada

KPL Dry Film™

Works as expected and great shipping

KPL Dry Film™

Works better than expected

KPL Dry Film™

Great product. Would highly recommend. Seller was kind enough to throw in a bottle of their original oil, with my 2 bottle order of the dry film. Was pleasantly surprised to say the least.

KPL Dry Film™

Great product. Replenishing supplies as i am a longtime user and like product for leaving no residue after flashing off.

KPL Dry Film™

Old school lock back didn't want pocket lint plugging it up. Reduced opening effort considerably & hasn't needed to be reapplied at this time (two weeks).

KPL Dry Film™

When the oil evaporates the left over protection is very viscous and creates additional drag on the bearings and the washers. Overall I don't like the feel of the knife and had to clean it and use conventional oil. I'm sure it's a great product, as far as rust prevention, ease of application and the like.... just not what I was looking for.

KPL Dry Film™

I am a lubrication buff. For some reason, I am really into the topic and I have tested all sorts of different oils, greases and solids. For the longest time, I wanted a liquid lube that goes on wet and dries to an actual film as advertised. Most "dry lubes" do not fully dry and that was what kept me away from these products. KPL dry film actually delivers on this promise and true to the video ad, the liquid dries within seconds, leaving behind nothing but a well-bonded clear film. This film is what provides lubrication and it does not drip and does not attract dust nearly as much as an oil or a grease would. The lubricity of the system was to my satisfaction. It certainly isn't the glassy kind of feel you get from a PFPE grease or the slick sensation from a classic oil. However, it is fully satisfactory and appears to be as long-lasting as a basic oil with the added benefit of being completely mess-free. 9/10, will buy again

KPL Dry Film™

Honestly I thought it was just ok in terms of smoothing I honestly couldn't tell a difference with and without which is a shame as I had high hopes for this, I haven't had it long enough to see the protection abilities so I can't say just yet on that

KPL Dry Film™

Likely to be the best out there

KPL Dry Film™

Excellent lubricant-best for all knife actions. Long time product user. Not changing any time soon.

KPL Dry Film™

Works like a charm…

KPL Dry Film™

Love it, works great.

KPL Dry Film™

Excellent product and quick delivery

KPL Dry Film™

Great stuff! I had a new, fairly expensive folder that was pretty stiff. One application of dry lub made a big difference. Need to reapply a few small drops about every 10 days.

KPL Dry Film™

Awesome product at a very reasonable price!

KPL Dry Film™

Does what it is supposed to do

KPL Dry Film™

Simply the best oil/lubricant for knife pivots as well as other fine mechanisms that work best in a contaminant free environment. As sparingly as you use Dry Film it has great lubricating properties that flash off after use leaving an extremely clean environment for your knife to operate in. Besides this, the smell itself is very clean and unobtrusive-almost intoxicating. Five star product rated by a longtime user.

KPL Dry Film™

I've only used this once so take this review for what it is. That being said I used a minute amount on the bolt of a bolt action pen and the improvement was like going from night to day.

KPL Dry Film™

Have used long enough to know for sure, but I have a lot of confidence in the brand.

KPL Dry Film™

This is part of a Christmas gift for my son. So, when he is given this gift I then will know if I ordered the correct item. Sorry I cannot say anymore, other than it was easy to order and the item was received quickly and well packaged. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
