>What stones do you suggest outside of the diamond lansky system? I want to make mirror polished edges if possible. I have a few crappier knives to practice on.
I bought the deluxe kit and later on bought accessories like diamond, curved hones, ect. The diamond certainly is worth it and Lansky's diamond stones are pretty good.
As for what to get (these are cheaper on other sites, but I'm just referring to Lansky's for information sake), I'd suggest:
Ultra Fine/1000 grit/"Yellow". Comes standard in most kits, and is an excellent polishing stone.
"Blue Sapphire"/2000 grit. Sold separate, but worth it. Can put a glistening nearly/ready-for mirror edge on a blade.
Leather strop. Absolute must buy. It's a regular Lansky hone with a good quality piece of leather on it. Apply your preferred compound and strop away. Best way to finish and with the the right compounds can make mirror edges.
Curved hones In case you have any curved knife blades.
Serration/triangle hone For serrations, if you need to sharpen them (there's also a few other grits other than that, too).
Also worth mentioning a stand for Lansky clamps is available (so is a C-clamp variant). In case you get tired of wrist movements, ect. Pretty convenient.
>Also, any advice on compounds for strops
http://stropman.com/ - I buy all 4 (black/course, white/medium, green/fine, red rouge/ultra fine). Great compounds and not that chalky dried out shit you'll find elsewhere (seriously, to hell those compounds where you have to heat it/melt it on). These will apply just by using hand pressure on a strop and rubbing it in quickly like a crayon.
I also use Flitz polishing paste, simply because it's convenient to have (Flitz is damned near magical). Doesn't apply to a hard piece of strop leather (the kind that isn't potmarked and with lots of give) very well. The softer and more rough/natural kind will take to it like a fish in water, however.
I've also used Tormek's honing compound. It, too, is pretty good. As for the grit compared to Flitz, I'd say it's more aggressive but slightly less in finish.
>and oil for bearings/general use
In a pinch, Singer sewing machine oil.
The best lube I've come across, however, is Sentry Solutions' Tuf-Glide. It's absolutely mind-blowing when you first use a lube of that quality and realize how much is lessens friction. Protects decently from moisture as well.
Great find and hell of a steal!
This video [here] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD1yqs-vz2w) also gives some tips on cleaning and restoring a vintage adjustable.
The polish and lubricants suggested are [Flitz Polish] (http://www.amazon.com/Flitz-Plastic-Fiberglass-1-76-Ounce-Blister/dp/B000MUSOW4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464569881&sr=8-1&keywords=flitz+polishing) and [Tuf Glide] (http://www.amazon.com/Sentry-Solutions-TUF-GLIDE-Applicator-2-Ounce/dp/B000Q82HSY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464570060&sr=8-1&keywords=Tuf+glide), respectively. You can also use mineral oil as a lubricant if you already have some.
Best of luck and enjoy your shave!
Anyone tried dry lube/Teflon based stuff on their printers?
like this stuff Tuff glide ?
I've had a lot of success with Tuf-Glide, but even something like a simple mineral oil will do in a pinch.
I like TUF-GLIDE but have never used it on a Leatherman before. Any gun oil would also work.
Just took mine apart to replace the scales.
I used a drop of Tuf-glide on the pivot after I had cleaned off the washers. Reassembled and it free drops like a champ.
I have touched it up on my Sharpmaker and stropped it to a near mirror finish. It shaves my arm, which is about as sharp as I would want a knife.
Tuf-Glide and Tuf-Cloth are good products.

So, my 51 has started squeeking a little bit when flipping. So i figured i'd have to apply some oil or other lubrication to the pivots.
Which oil/lubrication do you guys suggest?
The ones i found are these 2:
