The detent is one of the smallest components on any knife, but it has a massive impact on how your pocketknife performs. Using the right knife oil on your knife detent can make all the difference in removing grittiness, scratchiness, or sluggish deployment.

The word "detent" means any device that holds a pivot, or sliding mechanism in place, without locking it altogether. It doesn't have to have a ball to be a detent. The back spring on a slipjoint is a detent. The way an Axis lock holds a Benchmade closed is a detent. The clicks of a switch are detents. There's a ball detent on your ratchet to hold the sockets on.

What do you think of the detent on the AD 20.5 I heard it was bad but I’m not sure

@MarkLuffman 3 года назад

Let's look at the detent with the naked eye... I'm going to switch over to the microscope. 😂😊😁😁

Thanks for all the videos thus far. I'm getting my shipment of Heavy and Regular today can't wait to put it to use on my Small Inkosi from CRK.

@knifepivotlube412 3 года назад

That’s awesome!! Make sure to let me know how it works for you ....

@michaelmanieri 3 года назад

@@knifepivotlube412 So I cleaned and disassembled my Inkosi made sure none of the grease from CRK is on the knife and used the KPL. I've noticed my knife feels worse though compared to the CRK grease. I honestly used more than 1-2 drops per side and I used heavy on the detent ball and track. Tips? I ended up getting my delivery just an hour ago, so maybe it takes time, but currently the knife feels worse.

@mrbecker187 3 года назад

@@michaelmanieri hey I literally just did the same thing with a small Inkosi about a week ago..brand new knife, removed the grease and added the kpl and it felt worse..but just give the knife some time to break in. It’s been about a week and now it’s superrr smooth and it’s had kpl light in the pivot and heavy on the detent track the whole time. Just gotta break the knife in a bit.

@2hp749 2 года назад

Great explanation of the detent! However, I do not enjoy taking knives apart. Can the detent still be lubricated without disassembly?

@vegass04 Год назад

Me too bro. I'm not mechanically inclined, as they say, so every disassembly carries the danger of me making things worse than they were. Just the other day I've discovered a small play on the Para 2 blade so naturally I wanted to do something about it. I went for the pivot screw and couldn't unscrew the damn thing so I ended up stripping the screw. Grrrrrrrr..

@benjamindelannee3501 2 года назад

Can you get these tools to open a knive at most big box stores

@jbmoreleathercrap Год назад

You just need a precision torx screwdriver set. The T6 and T8 bits are the most commonly used sizes with pocket knives. You can get cheap sets, which are fine if you only occasionally need to take apart a knife, but if you do it a lot, you'll want a better quality set. You may also sometimes need a second screwdriver/bit for certain knives that have free spinning pivots rather than a D shaped pivot. Hope that helps. I'm sure you figured this stuff out by now since your comment was a year ago, but thought I'd waste my time adding my irrelevant comment. 😂

I swear to god knife pivit lube is literally the sotor home made gun lube use synthetic red grease the tacky stuff and dump in synthetic motor oil to a honey type consistency for warm areas and a little more runny for cold weather ans it's super cheap to make not to mention you can really add proper lube amount store in an old Sriracha bottle done not trying to steal this man's secret and I've liked the lube for the few months ice tested it but it smells identical to that combo either way Its not super expensive and not messy like making your own

Too much lube your gonna get oil on the lock face

@ryansreels5548 3 года назад

true, i have fortunately never had trouble at all with that - a properly carbidized lockface and good lock geometry means no slipping and no sticking, at least for me!
