I've used CLP in the past, but my 0350 that sees the most EDC doesn't do any better with or without.

I've never put anything on a knife ever, even my folding dive knives that spent years in salt water and salt spray.

...interesting. I'm kind of a low-speed high-drag operator
 so my EDC knives don't get a lot of use - opening boxes is the toughest thing I do
with the Delica. So I only clean, sharpen and lube them every few months or so. I've only noticed a slight difference after I lubed them, and I had always assumed that there would be more of a difference if I used the knives harder. -Warren- |

I use my knives daily. All I have ever done has been to clean and sharpen them. Never even thought of lubing as they have always worked fine. Benchmade Barrage and Kershaw Blur.

I use Ballistol on everything. Guns, knives, whatever needs lube or protection.

On my slipjoints I use a drop of 3in1 oil in the joints every couple months or so.
Just about anything will suffice, though. -Parke1 |

Mine get pretty nasty. I periodically spray them out with the air compressor and give them a short burst of Kroil or CLP.

Blow it out with an airgun, no lube. Lube would make it hold dust and crud.

For de-gumming or cleaning - WD40 and an old toothbrush. For lubing (only rarely ever needed) I use whichever gun lube is close at hand - usually either Weapon Shield or Wilson Ultima Universal. I only use a small quantity and then work the pivot a bit... then wipe away any excess.
WD40 is an excellent cleaner... especially if you get sticky adhesive on your blade from cutting tape like duct tape, packing tape, etc...

I use a couple drops of Hoppes Elite every now and then because that's what I have.

Every now and then (like once a year) I might put a drop of CLP into the hinge of my CRKT M21.

I don't usually oil my EDC knives until they start to feel gritty while opening.
It varies, but I always make sure to use a non-toxic oil since I often use it to open food packets. Lately I've used Balistol, but it smells terrible. |
