@timh1315 Год назад

The Super lube pen is a blend of mineral oil, PAO oil, with ptfe powder and is classified as a H1 lubricant meaning for incidental food contact, only up to 10ppm. I would NOT use that on a knife that is going to have direct food contact. You need a H3 lubricant designed for direct food contact like an edible oil (sunflower, soy, corn etc) as long as you don’t have a food allergy. Also, mineral oil or aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) are a suspected carcinogen and mutagen like what is used in the super lube pen. On a side note, I think you made another great budget friendly video packed with great content!

@maxlvledc Год назад

dammnn! good info. I don't wipe the blades down with the oil..only add to the pivots..I think I made a big mistake not explaining how to actually clean a multitool..I think I need to do that in my next video..

@timh1315 Год назад

@@maxlvledc part of my job at work is being a certified lubrication specialist, so I know a thing or 2 about lube😅. I reviewed their SDS for the pen and they didn’t even list the ingredients they use in it 🤦🏻‍♂️ so I had to do some searching. I think your idea for the next video is brilliant. Heck, I learned so much information about flashlights, batteries, emitters, candela power in your recent videos that blew me away. The flashlight manufacturers don’t even upload videos that go into great depth like that on their products! Keep up the great work Dom!

@DhavalMomaya Год назад

So what's a good food grade lube?

@maxlvledc Год назад

@@DhavalMomaya Olive oil has been used for a very long time for this purpose.

@timh1315 Год назад

@@DhavalMomaya corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, or cottonseed oil are just some examples for keeping a knife protected from rusting just for food prep but keep in mind if you use olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, those oils do have a shelf life of 12-18 months before they go rancid and they oxidize very quickly. Super lube and many other manufacturers do make lubricants for direct contact so keep in mind you are looking for a lubricant that is H3 certified for direct food contact.

@Starbux45 Год назад

I do my regular maintenance on my Leatherman at the same time as my other “everyday carry” tools. Since I don’t use my Leatherman for food prep I just use the same high quality lube for them all. As for sharpening my knives, I have tried several different types of sharpening systems and I always go back to my wet stones and strop. Nothing gets them sharper and I find it very satisfying getting them razor sharp with just a little vested time and patience.

@Kallys23 8 месяцев назад

I like where you are going with this. Truly, the Leatherman kit is priced for the name alone. I do agree whole heartedly with you choice of sharpener; that is probably my favorite for packing out/ traveling. Definitely cannot go wrong with that piece of equipment. Many times it would cost more to piece a kit together like this; however, as you have demonstrated, it is clearly more cost effective here. Not to mention this kit is obviously much more useful, I think. Some of us may have collected pieces (picks, brushes, etc) maybe only missing one or two pieces. Or just simply looking around to see how others manage their kits. This was nice to see how you came in better for nearly less.

@charlesheller5767 Год назад

Dominic - really good look at a "unitized" maintenance kit. I learned about pull sharpeners dangers from that. Have found pipe cleaners VERY useful in kit. They get into a multitool in ways that a Q-Tip won't, & cleaning action is a "pull through" rather than "swabbing" nature. Pipe cleaners can also lightly coat a surface w/lubricant, as they leave more film than droplet (even with "needle" tip oiler.) The softer ones work best. I use the wire wheel on my 6" Craftsman bench grinder to remove rust. Saves manual brushing, and the motor's song is "audio therapy." Even like the winding down sound, and sharp snap of the switch. (Maybe weird, but I bet lots of you relate...) I use a Galati brand medium pouch for a combo gun cleaning/knife sharpening kit, containing several "bore snakes" designed for gun barrels, but also work beautifully for running through a disassembled multitool frame. Of course anyone who's seen my mod work knows that the world might be better off if I didn't attempt multitool mutilations... "Frankenwave." I was heavily influenced by inspector gadget... { :- )

@maxlvledc Год назад

Ooooo! Do it! And I like the idea of pipe cleaners.

@BubbaWake85 Год назад

This is pretty much the best way to do it. I have so many different rag pieces. Every shape size and color imaginable. I get made fun of, i hate throwing away shit that could be used for something.

@joshuaconklin4885 Год назад

Love the worksharp field sharpener! I would toss in a pair of tweezers or forceps to help aid in reassembly for small spacers and bushings that can tend to be a pain to get back in place. Also, maybe a small bottle of cleaner/degreaser to help get tape residue and similar gunk off of blades or scissors.

@valleyforgemtn Год назад

I use Ballistol on everything. Love your videos.

@spencew.g. 10 месяцев назад

I also keep a mechanical pencil in my kit. Not only for writing, but I uses the lead/graphite in a dry lubricant areas.

@dennispoley6005 Год назад

The Guided Field Sharpener is the best portable edge maintenance tool out there. I have one in each pack. The cutouts inside under the stones are for installing and removing broad heads from the arrow shaft. I like the small bit kit but would add bits specific to knife/tool screws. Having something to keep the tools rust free like a cloth coated with a conditioner like Tuff Stuff comes in handy around wet conditions.

@maxlvledc Год назад

Good ideas.

@VisionWords Год назад

That looks like a great maintenance kit. One other thing I use from time to time is simple compressed air. Yes, you can try just blowing dust and particles out, but a can of compressed air is going to reach into small spaces much more precisely and powerfully than my breath (plus it avoids getting any spit in my tools). And I usually just use a food grade mineral oil to lube/protect. I buy it by the gallon (I use it for other projects as well) and then fill a small bottle with a fine applicator.

@craigmooring2091 Год назад

Yeah, after I did that reply to the scambot, I did report it. That looks like a great kit you put together, Dominic. And yes, those V sharpeners are for desperation sharpening, in my opinion. I don't really have a dedicated kit. I lube the joints from time to time and dust the channels with Q-tips. I have a sharpening kit that consists of a leather pouch that houses 2x6-inch diamond plates of 300, 400, and 600 grit. I've adhered 2,000 grit wet/dry sandpaper to the back of one and a strip of leather on another that I rub with green compound when at home. I also have in the pouch a slender vial of aluminum silicate powder, a small triangular file, and a small flat file.

@STABILBrand Год назад

Great video! Thanks for using our STA-BIL Rust Stopper.

@jimq Год назад

These alternative videos are always nice. People may be able to cobble a kit together from what they already have. I know, for myself, besides the sharpener (a Lansky wont fit 🤣) I could put something very similar together what what I already have. One thing I've been into lately, which you already have videos on, are making my perfect multitool. Modified a Wave, and a sidekick to give me, the right tools for the job. Sidekick good for everyday carry, and still be capable, while the Wave is always in my pocket doing projects.

@maxlvledc Год назад

I actually really like the sidekick, only thing I don't like is the price increases.

@peddypeoples941 Год назад

Haha, i saw the field sharpener and would reccomend this as well, use it more often than my more expensive guided sharpeners. For Oils i use Ballistol for rust resistance (food grade) (also nice for leather strops, cleaning, skincare) and Victorinox Multitool oil as lubricant. Rest is already in the house, wiha bits, microfiber cloth whatever:)

@Maclark014 Год назад

Well..I have never maintained my multitools. So this would be a great start! I love your videos, keep it up!

@dannym7783 Год назад

Great info; I never really gave much thought into a knife maintainence kit. I have invested in gun cleaning kits but it makes good sense to care for your blades and multitools as well. One point to add would be to use mineral oil on blades that you would use to process food. It is safer to use the mineral oil instead of petroleum based lube and cleaners when maintaining food prep blades.

@Gman1024 Год назад

Speaking about knafs, I don't like to take my stuff apart, so I usually spray out my knives with CRC electronics cleaner to remove gunk, and insta-dries with a breath, re-lube with reel oil, then clean the exterior and blade with a spritz or two of mineral oil from an old EDCi bottle, dry and wipe down with a rag.

@loren481 Год назад

I use a KME on my folders, and a WorkSharp belt sharpener (with guide removed) for my SAKs and fixed blades. Finish with a leather strop and green sharpening compound. I typically use a toothbrush and soapy water to clean, and lubricate with PTFE dry lube. I should probably look into some of the food safe lube instead, however. Great video!

@Chrispy1990ful Год назад

Excellent video.If I plan on using any blade for food I use oils that I could eat. Preferably coconut oil.

@soul_survivor8148 Год назад

Super Stuff! I typically pilfer though the firearm cleaning supplies aisle for swabs and bore patches. There are too many sharpening systems to ever bother with "V"-notch edge obliterators, but that tip about downward pressure is invaluable. An old tooth brush and some simple-green goes a long way. I need to get some of that rust inhibitor, if only for my other tools. FInally, KPL for the scent alone. Great Content and Comments.

@jwdataspot Год назад

I was actually considering buying the Leatherman Maintenance Kit to restore and maintain my 22 year old original Wave (pre-bit kit, non-locking tools). I like your idea of putting together a similar kit for the same price. I have also only ever used a V sharpener and appreciate the advice of not putting pressure on the blades while sharpening. That is a tip that is extremely useful!

@maxlvledc Год назад

TY! pull cutters are not necessarily bad, but they can also damage a blade quite easily. In general its worth trying one of the guided sharpeners ( I only sharpen at 20 degrees anyway)

@shaneh4829 Год назад

Great advice! I'm a little lazy on keeping tools cleaned properly with the exception of a couple knives - guess i like my tools seasoned! That seems to be a much more reasonable kit cost and well done gathering all up. I found some clearanced out muti size swabs I use for gun cleaning and fine cleaning, so swabs are a must! Great job! Keep the content coming!

@jfbowers369 Год назад

I LOVE my field sharpener! But I stick with mineral oil for an all purpose lube. Plus I also use a ruberized sanding block 'rust eraser' that I have had for years. It will scratch up softer metals but it works so well on removing serface rust.

@kurtsheridan9499 Год назад

Great video. I read through some of the comments and saw some great additions to the kit. One I didn't see was to add a pick to get some of the big "stuck" chunks that work their way under the pivots.

@vunguy3n Год назад

@larryvansullen3935 Год назад

I love the field guide sharpener by Work Sharp. I like using mineral oil for lube, safe for food prep and cheap. Maybe some alcohol to sanitize blades when preping food

@magicg8112 Год назад

One thing to note it that if you use a t-shirt as a rag it needs to not have any fabric softener used on it. Fabric softener will interfere with the ability of the rag to absorb other materials. It will also resist some lubricants, so things don’t get as clean as you’d like. Before turning a T-shirt into a rag, run it through the washer with a very bland detergent and do not add fabric softeners to either the wash or dry cycles. This is also true if you are going to use the rags to apply coatings to woodworking projects.

@maxlvledc Год назад

@mathewloyd545 Год назад

@haydenfox3116 Год назад

Love the contents of the kit, the only thing I could suggest (more expensive) is Knife pivot Lube with the specified weights, really useful if you're going for a dropshut action on your knife to get their 15 weight lube. Also grease is great for slipjoints and putting it in the enclosure to the omega spring in axis locks make the axis lock smoother and theoretically makes the omega springs last longer because of the minimal friction against the enclosure. Great video!

Another great segment matey. We have our own maintainance kit for our knives & multitool almost similar to yours. For brushers we use toothbrush (soft & medium). For sharpening, we use emerine cloth (1000 grit or more). For lubrication & rust proofing we use food grade Singer oil (mostly use for sewing machine). For swabs we just use either Cotton & Wool and last but not least we use Baby Linen Nappies.!! Yeah mum still keep our baby stuff. Dad make a cool pouch for our kit. Needless to say as we reckon you have already guess that the kit is for our bushcraft tool, mainly outdoor usage in the field. We watch you show regularly & got some excellent ideas from it. Cheers for sharing mate. The best giveaway for us is what we takeaway from you shows, an honest review. Warm greetings from Australia.

WD40 is a great cleaner actually

Hey Maxlvledc! Just fyi! I just got a message that I am pretty sure is not from you about being a winner? Is this legit?

@calebdoede6169 Год назад

New to edc and never really maintained a tool but this would be a great jumpstart to learn how.

Tee shirt seems like a great option for a rag, I suppose if you wanted something on the cheap that wasn't a tee then you can find microfiber rags at the dollar tree for a buck. I like that sharpener and the brush kit a lot and I think I'm going to add those to my Christmas list. Thanks for putting this together and sharing some interesting options!

i like your setup, worksharp guided sharpener is the best.

It’s great to see how you manage to help us with your great ideas,myself I usually have a microfiber cloth and some sort of knife compatible screwdriver set and a flat stone for sharpening.I have to say you kit would be a great improvement.Thanks for the chance to win.

@Joinordie718 Год назад

I basically use a lot of the items you are using as well and I use EDCi formula to protect the metal 😊thanks and crossing my fingers 😅

fantastic vid. leatherman priced me out years ago. especially with so many quality options now ( flissa, multi force, etc. ). sent my favorite surge to oregon 8 weeks ago for warranty repair. i purposely gunked up the pivots to see if they would clean and lubricate. nope. got it back couple days ago repaired but filthy.

Great kit and great content, thanks! I really like contact cleaner (instead of wd-40 or brake cleaner) to clean out gunk - it leaves no residue and safe for plastics.

oooo, good info.

Ack! I have one of those v-shaped sharpeners as I'm wanting to learn how to sharpen my knives and thought this was the best way to touch up my blades without ruining them. My uncle would sharpen my knives when I was at home. Have started carrying a larger knife again and have started a small collection since subscribing to yours and Mark Coffman's channels. I figured I needed to learn how to sharpen knives myself. So maybe my first sharpener is not the best start.

dont get me wrong..you can sharpen with a v sharpener..just make sure its exactly perpendicular to the sharpener and dont put any excessive downward pressure. cheers.

i use some of the alcohol wipes to clean the knife blade, tools etc. sometimes they get stuck with tape or dirty from what you are cutting.

I think you put a really good kit together! I would say a lot of these items apply to knives as well not just multitools. In terms of the cloth, i tend to use a microfiber cloth. I have lots laying around and they work great, but an old shirt is perfect too. The field sharpener is the one i have and works great. A while ago i bought a craftsman precision driver set from Lowes i think. It has all the bits you would need, is quite small and was only about $15. Very good kit and so easy to put together your own.

In the title I mentioned it would work for knives and tools as well. I think this is a great base kit for all kinds of Maintenance.

@Ashton.everydaycarry Год назад

@@maxlvledc Sorry didn't see that! I am going to look into getting the brush set as well as the super lube and loctite to add to my maintenance kit! Great options to start your own kit for sure. Thanks for another great video!

@terrencem5811 Год назад

to be honest, I never really thought about maintenance! Other than sharpening, I usually just wipe it down and leave it at that. Sad, I know. But now you have me thinking about it.

@CWS2152 Год назад

Great Job. I also thought the Leatherman kit was a bit overpriced for the value provided. Leatherman and knife maintenance includes touching up the blades if needed, light oil, and wipedown.

@G33kyminecraft Год назад

I'm impressed with the kit you were able to assemble. For cleaning knives and multitools I prefer twil patches that are often used in firearm maintenance.

@maxlvledc Год назад

AHH yea those are good.. most things that work on guns would work on knives and multitools as well.
