Im curious about this as well
I just received a new Shabaria and the consistency and volume of the lubricant around the pivot surprised me. It was much more viscous than I would have anticipated
almost a gel-like consistency. There also seemed to be an inordinately large amount of lubricant; there was even enough to have saturated and darkened the front portion of the Micarta scales. After I wiped down the knife and allowed it to dry the scales returned to their normal color, but I was surprised to see that much goop on a Spyderco. Is this a new lubricant? I dont recall seeing this stuff on my other Spydies. Just curious
BTW, the Shabaria is an outstanding knife
definitely the most interesting Spydie I own and perhaps my favorite (currently)
