Club Sebenza anyone??

Hey everyone, MMW sent me a nudge via FB that I should swing over here. I made the transition from the old forum, where my handle was Crowdog, but I hadn't completed my acct. setup and subsequently forgot my password.
Many thanks for the positive feedback on MMWs Sebenza as well as everyone that recommend me for the work.
If you're on FB, join Quill Artistry for my private group. I keep it the most up to date with work, GAWs, et cetera. Other wise you can also find me on IG @JonathonQuill

 

Hey boss! I was going to ask if there was any OG members in here still rocking the original QA Rule of 3 Shirts. I still wear mine, I love the fabric on those. Yes, that is actually in the works currently. This run will be a bit different than the T's. I want to do a limited run of more purpose driven wearables, a crew sweatshirt with sewn on waxed canvas utility pockets for pens/lights/ etcetera. Gen. shop/studio and campsite items and maybe wax canvas reinforcements at the elbow forearm section.

 

I'd be interested in a sweatshirt, but mine don't typically wear at the elbows, just all around the pockets and the cuffs. Not too impressed with my most recent Carhartt rain defender.

Welcome back @JonathonQuill

 

I still rock my t-shirt and definitely count me in on the next run

 

Figured this was a good place to ask this question. Perhaps a dumb question regardless, can anyone tell me if anodized Ti still gets snail trails? Thanks all. Have a great Friday.

 

I'm sure it does. The anodizing will eventually wear away also.

 

Just a bit of mill grain beading around the thumb stud added a unique appearance. I can't personally discern any difference in feel.

 

Awesome work.

 

Like Kyle said, it will gain snail trails, and the anno will wear away with use.

 

Does anyone know of an alternative for the Chris reeve greese? not paying 10 bucks plus shipping to NZ for a tiny tube when no doubt It can be bought in bulk.

 

White lithium grease from Home Depot (it's marketed as garage door grease) seems super similar to me. I bought a giant tube of it for less than $10 and it looks and feels exactly like the CRK grease. I've used it on plenty of knives without issue, and I've also used Frog Lube grease on knives with good results. The Frog lube stuff is food safe if that matters to you.

I read Frog Lube is just coconut oil.

 

That's basically it, from what I can tell.

I've stopped putting it on my firearms because I've found after sitting in the safe for a few months, it becomes sticky and leaves behind a white residue. On a gun that gets shot often, it does fine. But if it had time to set for a while, it seems to deteriorate.

 

@Stewart This is what I use for all my folders. This stuff is awesome. Finish line flouro grease.

and why does this bother you?

 

Sticky gun parts aren't good. Things don't move when you increase their friction and sticky parts have a lot of friction. I only mention the white residue because obviously the green paste that dried on clear did something during it's time in the safe to no longer become a green/clear paste.

I had a dead reliable AR that's gone thousands of rounds without a single malfunction. Last time I cleaned it I lubed it up with just a little bit of the Frog Lube, as usual, and sat it in the safe. I ran low on 5.56 ammo a while back so the rifles didn't see any target time. So they sat in the safe for quite a while (2-3months) and the other day I was checking on something on the AR and I cleared it. Once I was done doing whatever I was doing, I loaded the mag and pulled the charging handle. The bolt didn't ride completely forward. It had stripped a round, pushed the round into the chamber and stopped. I forced the bolt closed with the forward assist, ejected that round and the same thing happened. I did that for 5-6 rounds and swapped the mag. Same story. So I took the BCG out and realized it was sticky to the touch. I completely cleaned the entire BCG and put it back in dry. Same mag, still loaded to capacity. Bolt cycled flawlessly.

That was enough for me to not trust FrogLube to my defensive weapons.

 

This is great stuff.

I use this on as opposed to christo lube for CRKs.
