The tools I use to maintain my tools 

What about the tools you use to maintain the tools you use to maintain your tools?

I sure am glad I found your chanel. Enjoying it very much.

For lube and corrosion prevention, I use Ballistol (for both my guns and knives). For strop a knife, I just fold my old jeans flat and use that because I don't have a strop.

An outstanding rust inhibitor product is Boeshield T-9. It was developed by the Boeing Corporation to protect metal parts in aircraft. I use it on all my high-carbon steel blades and tools, and have yet to encounter a speck of rust. It has a 30-year track record of hard-use, real-world application, and is widely accepted as the best rust inhibitor on the market.

A small magnet is invaluable to have around for tiny screws and pins

This is a positive comment ,your voice reminds me of Gilbert Godfrey don't change it every word is crisp and clear you don't mumble like a great deal of you tubers. Keep up the good work thanks for all your tips they are good ones and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Great video Nick you're becoming one the best knife reviewers out there. Keep it up.

the utility of lighter fluid as a cleaning fluid, degreaser and general solvent cannot be over stated. as well as a little spray bottle of 99% iso-prop-2-anol.

I would add a Magnetic Insulation Silicone Soldering Mat. Great job as always Nick.

Cool to know you're from Michigan, saw 517.

Reviews both informing and amusing. Loving it!

Informative and indispensable video...10 stars out of 5 Nick.

Thanks for sharing. Very useful video.

Nick....I use a small Green magnetizing cage for little screwdrivers.....Works great....

You're not a serious collector until you buy your first CNC milling machine for maintenance

Wahl hair clipper oil ( actually Chevron Superla White Mineral Oil) is a great knife pivot oil, Come in around 7.5 W and is so much cheaper than the alternatives. It's designed for blades and $10 buys you 118ml..a lifetime supply

frod lube is actually horrible for firearms and can gum them up under certain conditions but its really good for other uses where you want to maintain lubricity on a surface without making them wet and prone to attracting debris

Thanks so much Nick.

I find a set of calipers to come in handy.

Work sharp sharpener never did me wrong. Love that sucker! My boss at the time jacked my griptilian up and that was the only thing that could get an edge on the pore thing.... Fucker put 3 chips and a role on my knife, never again....

Great stuff

Also news/phone book paper can strop a knife. Not as well as a real strop but they work and are basically free.

Nick Shabazz +Just started watching your videos and have learned a lot about knifes in a short time. Thanks for all the info. Not sure where you got the Wiha Set for $20. The lowest price I found was $37 on ebay. Amazon price is $50.

Would like to see you review the wicked edge and your opinion.

We need a video on how you sharpen your knives

Japanese water stones? Ceramic honing sticks? No mention of these?

Old school Nick 👍

Hey Nick, love your channel and your vids. Very helpful and informative. You are my go too guy from now on when it comes to maintenance of my folding knives. Is mineral oil ok for lubing? I'm ordering some frog lube but have used mineral oil a few times on some cheaper knives to test it. Would appreciate your feedback.

I use a magnetic bowl too.

Thanks mate

Hey Nick, love your channel brother. Quick question, what’s the knife you were showing in this video?

But what tools do you use to maintain the tools that you use to maintain tools

"save the earth" - taps finger on asphalt paving ad. irony, well played :)

Wiha makes the best tools bar none. ill always pay a bit more for them, but they are affordable for quality. i recommend everyone get at least 1 strop, but 3 would be better. you should never use one strop for different micron size compound, thats why 3 would be idea. for example you could have one with 1micron another with .5micron and another with .25micron paste on it. or whatever you choose, and get that really nice mirror polish on the edge. plus you can use one of the stropes with the slick side, while the ruff size is great for removing the burr.

Nick, Interested in the precision screwdriver set, but do you find you ever need metric hex bits instead of the SAE hex bits that come with this set?

Nick, where did you get the watch tool? I have already purchased everything from your Amazon list and I just need to get the watch tool. Best regards.

not a snowball's chance in hell, that Wiha kit cost you $20. that's a full set... the 4 or 5 piece mini torx tool cost me $16... if you somehow were able to find it for that cheap, please send me the link bc i'll jump on that fasho!

How about some Flitz?

My mother always said I'm a tool.

1 3/4 cotton patches. ;)

hey nick, can you link the kit?

I like to use Aegis Solutions EDCi.

Hey nick I was trying to find that same Wiha bit driver and set, but didn't see t online. Any way you could drop a link or a model number?

Even blue loctite is a bitch to clean off of screws...takes some soaking in acetone to get the threads free of all residue

Wi ha was $37.47 on amazon

Nice vidéo. Can you give me the ref of the wiha tool, thanks

5:56

he sounds so different??

Why the F does blue loctite come in a red tube and red in a blue??

Which flesh light would you prefer?

ahh....didn't see this video first hand....it's Wiha....

Real men have tools to maintain the tools to maintain the tools to maintain the tools. Amateur

Wow, your voice changed at a near linear rate in relation to the number of subscribers you've had.. I'm not trying to be rude, but stay yourself man. RU-vid fame has caused a lot of channels to die because what people initially liked about it ceased to exist. I really hate to see you taking all these free knives. I know it's a major turn off to a lot of people. A high percentage of viewers are gonna tell you exactly what you want to hear because they want you to like them. Therefore throwing any constructive criticism they may have to the wayside. Stay you,your core audience will love you for it. And the 100 people who say how ignorant I am, and tell you all is well, consider the source. Good channel that definitely filled a gap in the world of knife/gear reviews. Your channel will almost certainly survive whether you heed my warnings or not. But in life its about quality not quantity. Cedric and Ada has an awesome outlook as far as "free gear" goes, and why it's a positive thing to not be "that guy". Nothing in life is free. Stay cool man!

You can actually use a phone book to look up a phone number or address as well.

just bought torx set fucking broke

Was I the only one to Google the 734 area code?

Froglube is redpilled af

It's pronounced we-ya.

Nick ur going to have to come up to the 21 century and get an Apple Watch
