Made for Knives™  - pocketknives are a unique use case in that they are exposed to tons of harmful contaminants, salts, and abrasive particles on a daily basis.

Smoother than anything on the market - Knife Pivot Lube makes knives feel and operate better instantly.

Incredibly Protective - Knife Pivot Lube prevents abrasive damage to bearings, washers and races, and stops rust and corrosion cold.

Science Based - anyone can dump a random oil in a bottle, throw around some buzzwords, and call the product a knife oil. Knife Pivot Lube takes advantage of the most modern advances in chemistry. Our lube is synthesized from ground-up and blended to incorporate contaminant encapsulation technology, corrosion inhibitors, and wickability modifiers tuned to work perfectly on pocket knives.

KPL offers three different lubricants meant to span the range of knife lubricant needs. Our Original Lube (silver) is a 15wt lubricant, indicated for all knife uses.  We also offer an Ultra-Lite Lubricant at 5wt, and a Heavy Lubricant at 75wt.

Our lube is synthesized starting from ultra-pure ethylene gas giving us a controlled, contaminant free product, that is then blended to incorporate contaminant encapsulation technology, corrosion inhibitors, and wickability modifiers designed to make it work perfectly on pocket knives.

KPL Knife Shield is not only food-safe, its H1 certified ingredients are safe for use in commercial food production.  KPL Camellia Oil is a food-safe, edible, organic oil suitable for use on knives, pans, and carbon steel cooking implements.  Knife Pivot Lube lubricants (Original, Ultra-Lite, Heavy) do not contain toxic ingredients. Use lubricants sparingly to avoid excessive food contact. KPL Lubricants are not generally hazardous unless they enter the airway/lungs.

Pocket knives are works of art, they should smell good too!

KPL contains no evaporating solvents.  KPL has a stable viscosity and will not "dry out."  KPL also wont oxidize, or "gum up" when left in a knife over an extended period of time.

KPL is not water soluble, and contains no water soluble components. For this reason, the washout resistance of KPL lubricants is extremely good.

KPL is safe for your knife. KPL works on titanium, steel, aluminum, G10, Carbon Fiber, wood, ceramic and steel bearings, nylon, GRP (plastic), phosphor bronze, HDPE and Teflon. We've yet to see a knife KPL is not compatible with.

We use KPL on fishing reels, guns, automotive tools, and anywhere else we need high quality lubrication. KPL was made just for knives, but it works great just about anywhere.

Knife Shield was designed specifically for use on kitchen and other cutlery.  It is non-toxic, food safe, and environmentally friendly.

We've found that a drop or two on each side of the knife pivot and other moving parts is all that is needed. Re-apply as necessary.

KPL Lubricants (KPL Original, KPL Heavy, KPL Ultra-Lite) are designed to be applied to the moving parts of pocketknives.  Add a drop or two to the pivot area of the knife on either side of the blade.

Reapply a small amount every week or two when the knife is used daily.

KPL has excellent dirt and grit suspension properties. For this reason, KPL removes deposited grit, dirt, worn metal and other contaminants as you use it. KPL helps you avoid disassembling your knife to clean it. Simply apply KPL, work the action to suspend grime, and wick the dirt away with a cotton swab. Regular KPL use keeps your pivot clean and shiny.

Knife Shield is safe on all materials.  Apply to knives, tools, steel, brass, copper, titanium, etc.  Knife Shield is safe for use on knives used for food preparation as well.

Many modern stones (e.g., diamond stones) call for either water or no lubricant.

If you use oilstones (e.g., Arkansas Stone), KPL is an excellent option and great at keeping them free of buildup. KPL keeps metal filings (swarf) in suspension and off your Arkansas stone.
