常有人問我要用什麼油來保養刀具？這是個很難的問題，因為每個人的狀況不同，有些人的刀子是貢起來觀賞的；有些人的刀子是還要用來處裡食材；有些人的刀子是要在海裡使用的；有些人是要給折刀潤滑的......。各個訴求不同，理應要有不同的油，來應付潤滑，防銹，無毒等等需求，但真的有這種油嗎？
當然有！我常說戰爭是科技最大的進步要件。為了要在戰賞上的槍枝保養，有許多工程師卅研發人員為了戰場的多變環境卅嚴苛需要而發展出槍之保護油，而其中我最愛用的便是2003年發明的：MD LABS XF7
關於它的介紹，可看以下的原廠文宣：
MD LABS XF-7 WEAPONS LUBRICANT, P/N 1018
MD Labs XF-7 is a truly waterproof grease with extraordinary powers of lubrication and corrosion inhibition. XF-7 was formulated especially for use on modern automatic and semiautomaticweapons in adverse conditions of high temperature, fresh and salt water immersion and high cyclic rates.
XF7 was specifically formulated to meet the requirements of marine and desert environments on today's battlefield, as is currently being evaluated by elements of the US Army, US Navy, US Marine Corps and other NATO forces for adoption as a standard small arms lubricant.
XF-7 provides continuous protection up to 500 degrees F, with short term protection up to 600
degrees F and continuous protection from immersion in fresh and salt water. XF-7 will even workin boiling fresh or salt water.
XF-7 will not run, drip or melt, even when heated. Long after conventional hydrocarbon oils or
grease have melted and boiled off, MD labs XF-7 is still right where you put it, lubricating and
protecting your weapon from corrosion.
MD Labs XF-7 has been undergoing exhaustive field trials in Iraq, Afghanistan, Arizona and in the Arctic since January 2003. All trials have met with overwhelming success. XF-7 works in the widest range of temperatures and climates of any weapons grade lubricant currently available. In fact we at Smith Enterprise, Inc (SEI) believe so strongly in this product that our warranty for weapons assembled by our factory, for either retail or official End Users, will only be honored if the customer can demonstrate that the weapon has been routinely serviced with XF-7 lubricant.
Yes, XF-7 is that good!
XF-7 has been used with total success in M4/16s, M249, M240 and M2HB weapons to include all military handguns and foreign military weapons.
XF-7 contains no Teflon, so no hydrofluoric acid is created if the products burn off, as happens
with conventional PTFE/Teflon (i.e. CLP, TW25B, etc.) lubricants. Additionally, it cannot be
overstated that XF-7 will not evolve (generate) any cyanogens, caustics or acids as combustion
by-products, unlike the aforementioned PTFE/Teflon products. More over, XF-7 does not
generate toxic ammonia gasses or other caustic gasses under fire.
XF-7 is clear/amber, nonstaining (clothing friendly!), nontoxic, and O-ring friendly.
XF-7 will not attack rubber or polymers. XF-7 will not damage common firearms finishes or other metal finishes. XF-7 speeds gun cleaning because it won't char or carbonize on metal surfaces. In fact, most powder fouling wipe right off. It should also be stressed that PTFE/Teflon based lubricants and solvents create highly aggressive acid compounds which attack chrome-lined barrels, leading to a very much curtailed service life. Hydrogen embrittlement is also very common with these type cleaners and lubricants but does not occur when using XF-7. Use of the M11LR (AA11) in barrels not specifically chambered for this particular loading will exacerbate this corrosion stress phenomenon if PTFE/Teflon based cleaners and solvents are used. This accelerated deterioration of the chrome lining in 7.62mm NATO chambered weapons firing M118LR ammunition does not occur when XF-7 is employed.
Of special note for troop units in Iraq and Afghanistan is the problem of shortened service life of a weapon as a result of the abrasive slurry caused by using conventional hydrocarbon
oils/PTFE/Teflon based compounds. Simply put, these compounds attract foreign objects and
contaminants creating this abrasive slurry and this slurry then turns into a hard abrasive crust as the oils cook off, leaving carbonized grit welded to the weapon.Such is not the case with XF-7 merely because it does not attract foreign objects and does not
cook off.
In sum, the advantages of XF-7 relative to all other lubricants are as follows:
• XF-7 does not attract foreign object -- thus no abrasive slurry is created.
• XF-7 does not cause an accelerated wear of weapons components.
• XF-7 will not attack the chrome bore of the M-14 and other weapons.
• XF-7 will not cause hydrogen embrittlement.
• XF-7 will make cleaning a much easier task.
• XF will not create cyanogens or ammonia gasses under fire.
• XF-7 has far greater heat resistance.
• XF-7 makes cleaning the weapon a much quicker and simpler task.

簡單的來說，它兼具了保護，防銹，潤滑，無毒，不會溢流，工作溫度廣，不傷O環，塗上後丟入煮沸的海水中依舊保持效能！也因為不傷O環，所以我也用它來潤滑手電筒的螺牙。若要說缺點，那便只有因為它是膏狀，所以無法像液態的油直接滲入，所以像折刀軸承的潤滑便必須拆解後塗上才行。但相信我，它值得你這麼做，因為不但潤滑卅防銹效果長，而且也不會像液態的潤滑油一樣容易沾黏毛屑或髒污。若是長期不用要貢起來的刀子，只需將整個刀面及其他金屬部分圖上薄薄的一層，數年後依舊完整！
我從它研發出來後就用到現在，非常敢掛保證推薦！ |
