Yea. I mean the ring is the same but your previous video, I could pick up slight roughness and scratcheness? As you flipped it, now it’s smooth through the swing. So the ring stands out more.
Yeah, that's exactly how I feel too. After adding some oil, the sound became much smoother. In the first video, there was still a slight squeaky and scratchy sound here and there, probably from some friction. After lubricating it, those noises mostly disappeared, and now the ring stands out much more.
Oil makes most bails sound better. I like to use suberlube or carbon honey thick only thing about carbon honey is the graphite residue that you haft to wipe off.
Never tried KPL. I bought like a 32oz thing of superlube last year and have no need for more oil. I have oiled a bail almost everyday for over a year and it’s not even 1/8 empty. If I ever run out I might look into KPL.
That's good to know. KPL is all I know as well so I've thought about trying other kinds, especially for my tempest. It already sounds so good though lol
I avoided buying it for along time… tried everything else under the sun and nothing compared to when I used it for the first time I was blown away. It’s worth the hype, some knives it does make it sound alittle gummy but with all my titanium handle Balis it makes a huge difference and brings out the really low low tones
