Always fun to hear acoust-nick come out to put in his two cents on Things. There is something to be said for the audible portion of a knife experience.
Hi Nick, I disassembled the knife following your tutorial but I didn't notice how the washers were, can you help me please? Thank you so much, Best regards
I'd guess that the oil was selected based on the surface chemistry of the blade material. One of the biggest factors in selecting a lubricant is, ironically, how sticky it is. If the oil doesn't adhere, and adsorb to the surface it's used on, it may as well not be there. I'd imagine there are already lubricants out there that can simultaneously adhere well to steel and titanium. If the oil is actually unique, then I'd wager that other lubricants had a hard time sticking to both cobalt and titanium, so they had to find a new one that adheres well to both.
Looks like they were more aiming for the rust free aspect vs the overall maintenance. Plus the whole unusual materials angle will get many interested in what is otherwise a fairly basic looking knife. Granted both are a complete miss on me but to each their own.

I gotta say, as a materials science geek, I now feel obligated to get one of these. Damn it Nick.
Your disassembly videos are second to none!
Much love from Switzerland

I’d love to see Pete @cedricada do an edge retention test on dendritic cobalt
Just got the Invictus IBL! Such an amazing piece.
The dryer the humor the better Nick!!😆
Show up for the knives stay for the commentary
I don't believe the stuff they gave you is meant to be used as pivot lube, nick, otherwise they'd have mentioned it on the card.
Eh, it worked!

Thank you Nick
Maybe the non-steel blade interacts differently with the titanium, and their oil helps prevent eventual lock stick?

@@walkercobb2808 interesting, thanks for info 👌🏼
Good ol' Nick humor😂😂😂😂
What is the viscosity of a circle?
And does it depend on the diameter?
i sure wish the irs gave you lubracant when paying taxes
Is Terravantium related to Adamantium ???? Asking for a friend... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hmmmm, they’ve made a knife out of low maintenance materials, then they put it on bearings instead of washers... seems like a miss.

painful to watch
