Customer photo review of KPL™ Original Knife Oil

I have use KPL oil going on now two years I’ve had nothing but great results and I even use them for gifts. This is one of the finest oils I’ve ever used the thin oil from out the front eyes, the normal oil for everything in the thick oil to create a coat over the blades to prevent rust.

This stuff honestly just works. The flipping is as smooth as butter. A little definitely goes a long way, as not much is needed to make your knife flip effortlessly.

Customer photo review of KPL™ Original Knife Oil

KPL Original is a fantastic product for your treasured knives (and smells good too!). I’ve used it on knives from Spyderco, Benchmade, Buck and more. It’s less messy than other lubricants, but even more importantly: it works. The knives are now silky smooth. I also love the red color, as it allows me to see exactly where the lube is applied.

The Lubrication is unreal! The Knife guard was applied to all my blades, mused their microfiber cloth, and gave a great shine, Seems it will be a great protectant. Time will tell on this. I will be purchasing more.

My Cruwear Yojimbo 2 had terrible lock stick on the compression lock from the factory. Just a drop of KPL solved the problem and the knife is so much more alive!

Customer photo review of KPL™ Original Knife Oil

I'm retired now, but for over 40 years in Law Enforcement I taught a variety of Defensive Tactics, including Knife Use and Defense Techniques. I always carry/carried a knife, and every Officer I know carries a knife, mostly folders. During inspections I've found Folders that were so gummed up or rusty that they couldn't be opened by hand. In the past I've used a variety of lubricants, but never anything that works as well as your KPL Original, including smoother operation immediately after the first application. Even in the wet conditions here in the Pacific Northwest my SOG AEGIS opens smoothly and easily during every technique I utilize, including a concealed technique using my little finger. You have a lifetime commitment from me, and I will recommend your product to every officer I know.

I got this oil to use on a couple of my high end folders as an added bonus this stuff really works well as a general gun oil. Used this on an old model 88 Winchester that had been sitting in a closet for most of its life, very stiff action. After applying it to several action joints it now is as slick as these are noted for. Thanks
