Teflon Grease or Nano-Oil?

I heard some nice things about Nano-Oil, but I wasn't sure if it would be better to use than CRK or Finish Line DuPont Teflon grease on the pivot of my Sebenza 21.
I read that the CRK grease collects a lot of dust and dirt, and that the Nano-Oil lasts longer.

While talking about Nano-Oil... If I was to buy some for my Sebenza, which weight have you had luck with, or do you believe would provide the best results?

All help is appreciated; thanks in advance!
 
Hey pal, ive got a 21 lrg. CRK fluorinated grease and another is the best.
Let me get you two links.

I like my 10W Nano-Oil. I have not tried the 85W, which would be closer to the grease in viscosity.
 
Thank you all for your helpful responses.
I guess that I will use CRK grease for my Sebenza and get some 10W nano-oil for some of my other knives.
 
I have no experience with CRK or Finish Line greases, but I have Nano Oil. I must be the only person who doesn't like it all that much. It seems average in its lubricity. I've had better luck with Slip 2000 EWL and Weapon Shield.

Interesting. I have the opposite experience with WeaponShield. Nano Oil is slicker, but WeaponShield protects against rust better.

Yeah, it's odd for sure, since I hear such great stuff about it. It seems to be about as slick as regular old 3-in-1. Maybe I was expecting too much.
 
I found it to be a lot slicker than 3-in-1, and considerably better at rust prevention.
 
Some of the firearm lubricant/cleaners are corrosive to copper, so if you have brass washers in your folding knife it may be a problem.
 
I used blue Loctite to secure the screws on my 21 (apostasy!) after one backed out and got lost, and use BreakFree CLP to lube it. Works great for me. No disassembly required.
 
I've used both Nano-oil 10W and CRK Grease. They are both similar in their lubrication properties, but the Nano-Oil is easier to apply, simply because you don't always have to take apart the knife to apply it. However, I would have to venture a guess that the CRK Grease lasts longer in the pivot, whereas the Nano-Oil may dry out after some time. I feel you cannot go wrong either way.
