Just bought my first good folder. A Benchmade Presidio 522. Can someone just let me know their "routine" for maintaining their good folders? How often, how much, ect.
I generally do not have any "heavy-duty" use for my knife. I use it as my primary carry blade, and cut boxes open on a daily basis, so a vigorous cleaning regimen is probably not needed versus some other users. I have gotten both BlueLube and Tuf-Cloth for my knife, as per Benchmade's website. Thanks for the help. |

For carry knives, I blow them out with compressed air every few months to get pocket lint, etc out of the action. I them use some knife oil and put a drop on each side of the blade pivot and work the action. I them wipe down the blade with a silicon cloth to get any dirt, fingerprints, etc off the blade.
If the knife gets soaking wet, spray it out with a little WD40 and then clean it with a lint free wipe or towel. Other than that, you should be good to go. |
