This stuff is the bomb, nuff' said. It was mentioned to me by a fellow aircraft mechanic/machinist in regards to my OTF knife. The scales (handle) are aluminum but the blade is D2 tool steel. Wet type lubes gather crap and just slow it down after a month or two so asked him about using a dry graphite type lube. To much simplify a very complex conversation, graphite will induce electrolysis between dissimilar metals causing corrosion, dry silicon is an insulator.

Yeah I love the stuff. I use it on my cars and also my little switchblade and butterfly knife. Door hinges, keyholes, wasps…
 
Thank you Sir, I was pretty much born with an axe in my hand. She was born with an amazing work ethic and melted my heart with a wink of her eye.
I can see where that would be useful :)

And women always complain about how hard they have it...lol ;)
 
Fortunately, one handed knife's (knives?) are legal in my state. Mostly due to a lot of extreme rock climbers, parachutist's, etc. :)
Same in Texas. Hell, can legally carry a sword here as well as open carry your gun. I have a palm size American standard switchblade, it is my daily go to knife. Had about eight years now. American standard makes some incredible knifes.
