Ty!

I like where you are going with this. Truly, the Leatherman kit is priced for the name alone. I do agree whole heartedly with you choice of sharpener; that is probably my favorite for packing out/ traveling. Definitely cannot go wrong with that piece of equipment. Many times it would cost more to piece a kit together like this; however, as you have demonstrated, it is clearly more cost effective here. Not to mention this kit is obviously much more useful, I think. Some of us may have collected pieces (picks, brushes, etc) maybe only missing one or two pieces. Or just simply looking around to see how others manage their kits. This was nice to see how you came in better for nearly less.

The Super lube pen is a blend of mineral oil, PAO oil, with ptfe powder and is classified as a H1 lubricant meaning for incidental food contact, only up to 10ppm. I would NOT use that on a knife that is going to have direct food contact. You need a H3 lubricant designed for direct food contact like an edible oil (sunflower, soy, corn etc) as long as you don’t have a food allergy. Also, mineral oil or aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) are a suspected carcinogen and mutagen like what is used in the super lube pen. On a side note, I think you made another great budget friendly video packed with great content!

@@DhavalMomaya corn oil, sunflower oil, soybean oil, or cottonseed oil are just some examples for keeping a knife protected from rusting just for food prep but keep in mind if you use olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, those oils do have a shelf life of 12-18 months before they go rancid and they oxidize very quickly. Super lube and many other manufacturers do make lubricants for direct contact so keep in mind you are looking for a lubricant that is H3 certified for direct food contact.

I do my regular maintenance on my Leatherman at the same time as my other “everyday carry” tools. Since I don’t use my Leatherman for food prep I just use the same high quality lube for them all. As for sharpening my knives, I have tried several different types of sharpening systems and I always go back to my wet stones and strop. Nothing gets them sharper and I find it very satisfying getting them razor sharp with just a little vested time and patience.

Dominic - really good look at a "unitized" maintenance kit. I learned about pull sharpeners dangers from that. Have found pipe cleaners VERY useful in kit. They get into a multitool in ways that a Q-Tip won't, & cleaning action is a "pull through" rather than "swabbing" nature. Pipe cleaners can also lightly coat a surface w/lubricant, as they leave more film than droplet (even with "needle" tip oiler.) The softer ones work best. I use the wire wheel on my 6" Craftsman bench grinder to remove rust. Saves manual brushing, and the motor's song is "audio therapy." Even like the winding down sound, and sharp snap of the switch. (Maybe weird, but I bet lots of you relate...) I use a Galati brand medium pouch for a combo gun cleaning/knife sharpening kit, containing several "bore snakes" designed for gun barrels, but also work beautifully for running through a disassembled multitool frame. Of course anyone who's seen my mod work knows that the world might be better off if I didn't attempt multitool mutilations... "Frankenwave." I was heavily influenced by inspector gadget... { :- )

@maxlvledc

Ooooo! Do it! And I like the idea of pipe cleaners.

I use Ballistol on everything. Love your videos.

This is pretty much the best way to do it. I have so many different rag pieces. Every shape size and color imaginable. I get made fun of, i hate throwing away shit that could be used for something.

That looks like a great maintenance kit. One other thing I use from time to time is simple compressed air. Yes, you can try just blowing dust and particles out, but a can of compressed air is going to reach into small spaces much more precisely and powerfully than my breath (plus it avoids getting any spit in my tools). And I usually just use a food grade mineral oil to lube/protect. I buy it by the gallon (I use it for other projects as well) and then fill a small bottle with a fine applicator.

Love the worksharp field sharpener! I would toss in a pair of tweezers or forceps to help aid in reassembly for small spacers and bushings that can tend to be a pain to get back in place. Also, maybe a small bottle of cleaner/degreaser to help get tape residue and similar gunk off of blades or scissors.

Yeah, after I did that reply to the scambot, I did report it. That looks like a great kit you put together, Dominic. And yes, those V sharpeners are for desperation sharpening, in my opinion. I don't really have a dedicated kit. I lube the joints from time to time and dust the channels with Q-tips. I have a sharpening kit that consists of a leather pouch that houses 2x6-inch diamond plates of 300, 400, and 600 grit. I've adhered 2,000 grit wet/dry sandpaper to the back of one and a strip of leather on another that I rub with green compound when at home. I also have in the pouch a slender vial of aluminum silicate powder, a small triangular file, and a small flat file.

I’ve always been just a WD-40 guy but definitely going to build me one of these kits I’ve learned a lot from your channel keep up the good work sir

These alternative videos are always nice. People may be able to cobble a kit together from what they already have. I know, for myself, besides the sharpener (a Lansky wont fit 🤣) I could put something very similar together what what I already have. One thing I've been into lately, which you already have videos on, are making my perfect multitool. Modified a Wave, and a sidekick to give me, the right tools for the job. Sidekick good for everyday carry, and still be capable, while the Wave is always in my pocket doing projects.

Great video! Thanks for using our STA-BIL Rust Stopper.

The Guided Field Sharpener is the best portable edge maintenance tool out there. I have one in each pack. The cutouts inside under the stones are for installing and removing broad heads from the arrow shaft. I like the small bit kit but would add bits specific to knife/tool screws. Having something to keep the tools rust free like a cloth coated with a conditioner like Tuff Stuff comes in handy around wet conditions.

Good ideas.

I also keep a mechanical pencil in my kit. Not only for writing, but I uses the lead/graphite in a dry lubricant areas.

Great info; I never really gave much thought into a knife maintainence kit. I have invested in gun cleaning kits but it makes good sense to care for your blades and multitools as well. One point to add would be to use mineral oil on blades that you would use to process food. It is safer to use the mineral oil instead of petroleum based lube and cleaners when maintaining food prep blades.

Speaking about knafs, I don't like to take my stuff apart, so I usually spray out my knives with CRC electronics cleaner to remove gunk, and insta-dries with a breath, re-lube with reel oil, then clean the exterior and blade with a spritz or two of mineral oil from an old EDCi bottle, dry and wipe down with a rag.

Haha, i saw the field sharpener and would reccomend this as well, use it more often than my more expensive guided sharpeners. For Oils i use Ballistol for rust resistance (food grade) (also nice for leather strops, cleaning, skincare) and Victorinox Multitool oil as lubricant. Rest is already in the house, wiha bits, microfiber cloth whatever:)

One thing to note it that if you use a t-shirt as a rag it needs to not have any fabric softener used on it. Fabric softener will interfere with the ability of the rag to absorb other materials. It will also resist some lubricants, so things don’t get as clean as you’d like. Before turning a T-shirt into a rag, run it through the washer with a very bland detergent and do not add fabric softeners to either the wash or dry cycles. This is also true if you are going to use the rags to apply coatings to woodworking projects.

Thanks Dom, I have been going back and forth on which lube I should get. Thanks for the Amazon link in the description 😊

Well..I have never maintained my multitools. So this would be a great start! I love your videos, keep it up!

Good timing, I am actually making a maintenance kit now but aimed more at knives than multitools. Some other things I have are alcohol wipes, tweezers, and nylon pry tools for disassembly. I have KPL and Tuf-Glide as the lubes. Plus the iFixIt Minnow kit.

I've never cleaned my multi-tool (Never thought about it), just keep it in my pocket until needed. So, I guess I could really use this kit. Thanks.

Great kit. I have most of these items and was looking to organize it, but you pointed out a few nice adds, and that storage pouch is great for the price.

I cant believe I havent used my old shirts as rags. I even worked briefly in a factory that bought old torn up shirts from the salvation army to use as rags. Thanks!

Great kit! I need to make something like that. I usually just use a bunch of stuff around my bench. One place for everything is perfect.

I was actually considering buying the Leatherman Maintenance Kit to restore and maintain my 22 year old original Wave (pre-bit kit, non-locking tools). I like your idea of putting together a similar kit for the same price. I have also only ever used a V sharpener and appreciate the advice of not putting pressure on the blades while sharpening. That is a tip that is extremely useful!

Another great segment matey. We have our own maintainance kit for our knives & multitool almost similar to yours. For brushers we use toothbrush (soft & medium). For sharpening, we use emerine cloth (1000 grit or more). For lubrication & rust proofing we use food grade Singer oil (mostly use for sewing machine). For swabs we just use either Cotton & Wool and last but not least we use Baby Linen Nappies.!! Yeah mum still keep our baby stuff. Dad make a cool pouch for our kit. Needless to say as we reckon you have already guess that the kit is for our bushcraft tool, mainly outdoor usage in the field. We watch you show regularly & got some excellent ideas from it.

Also grease is great for slipjoints and putting it in the enclosure to the omega spring in axis locks make the axis lock smoother and theoretically makes the omega springs last longer because of the minimal friction against the enclosure.
