Walt has always been so nice to include Latama Quick Release Oil with my many purchases from him. I've never used anything else.

i used to use the latama oil as walt gave me free samples also when i ordered knives from him but few knives i didnt get to play with for few months got them out and blades would not open at all due to oil gumming up so i quit using it many years ago so last few years i use Hoppes gun oil i been looking to getting me some of that KPL oil has anyone tried the KPL oil ? from feedback sounds to be good oil one of the things they mention is it will never gum up :)

Thought for sure someone would post "KY". I've been a Quick Release user with positive results but wondering about KRL Lite.

I don't care for the Latama oil. Tank invented the stuff and I have a good amount of respect for him but, it does seem to gum up and cause some malfunction. I like Militec oil and grease. They use to send free samples.

You must have rubbed in really good, I might try that myself. Let y'all know how it works.
