What is Sub-Micron Technology (SMT) and how does it improve my folding knife action?

Sub-Micron Technology (SMT) uses microscopic particles suspended in the synthetic oil to actively fill micro-fissures and surface disparities on pivots, bearings, washers, and blade surfaces. This significantly reduces friction and mechanical wear, resulting in a noticeably smoother and more consistent flipping action for your EDC folding knife.

Will this oil migrate or leak onto my pockets and handles while carrying my knife daily?

No, the Breakthrough HP100 features a non-migrating formulation engineered with surface-adhering properties. This keeps the 20 ml lubricant securely situated inside the pivot pockets and bearing races rather than bleeding out onto your pocket clips, handle materials, or surrounding EDC gear.

Is this 20 ml bottle suitable for lubricating heavy-duty gear or firearm bolt carriers?

No, this low-viscosity oil is specifically designed for fine-tolerance pocket knife mechanisms, ball bearings, washers, and detents. For heavy-load sliding surfaces, firearm bolt carriers, or coarse high-friction machinery, you should switch to a heavier grease or higher-viscosity oil.

Does the Breakthrough HP100 Knife Oil require any dangerous goods licensing for transport or storage in Australia?

No, this is a non-toxic, non-pressurised liquid that is fully compliant for import, ground freight, and domestic sale across all Australian states and territories without requiring specialized dangerous goods licensing.

Knife Oil - Breakthrough BTHP100KO

The Breakthrough Clean Technologies Battle Born HP100 Knife Oil with SMT (Sub-Micron Technology) is a specialised folding knife pivot lubricant engineered to minimise friction, reduce mechanical wear, and protect blade steel from corrosion. Formulated with microscopic particles suspended in a synthetic base, this lubricant fills micro-fissures across contact surfaces without migrating onto handles, pocket clips, or carry gear. The non-toxic, non-hazardous, low-odour formula is safe for all carbon steels, stainless steels, tool steels, phosphor bronze washers, ceramic bearings, and stainless steel ball bearings.

Key Features

Sub-Micron Technology (SMT): Utilises microscopic particles in a synthetic carrier to treat micro-fissures in pivots, detent tracks, and bearing races for smooth deployment.
Non-Migrating Formulation: Surface-adhering properties retain the lubricant inside pivot assemblies and bearing pockets rather than seeping onto exterior components.
Corrosion Barrier: Displaces moisture to prevent rust and oxidation across exposed blade faces and internal locking mechanisms.
Safe Chemical Profile: Non-toxic, non-staining, and low-odour composition suitable for fine-tolerance tools and everyday carry equipment.

Specifications

Packaged Weight: 0.1 lbs (~45 g)
Packaged Dimensions: 70 mm x 19 mm x 19 mm (2.75 in x 0.75 in x 0.75 in)
Mechanism Compatibility: Brass washers, phosphor bronze washers, ceramic ball bearings, stainless steel bearings, and locking interfaces
Material Compatibility: Stainless steels, carbon steels, tool steels, and standard handle materials
Power Requirements: None (manual liquid lubricant)

Who is the Breakthrough Battle Born HP100 Knife Oil for?

Everyday carry folding knife users — delivers precision micro-gap lubrication across tight bearing tracks and pivot washers in a compact 20 ml (0.67 fl oz) bottle designed for pocket gear maintenance.
Hunters maintaining fixed-blade and folding knives — provides a portable 0.1 lbs moisture-displacing barrier that coats exposed steel surfaces and pivot mechanisms against field-induced corrosion.

Less suitable for: Heavy-load sliding surfaces, firearm bolt carriers, large exposed open gears, or coarse high-friction machinery; high-viscosity synthetic oils or dedicated heavy weapon greases are recommended for those applications.
