Affordable oil for folder pivots and multi tool

Isn't WD-40 RE-odorized kerosene?

The exact ingredients are not public, but according to the U.S. Materials Safety Data sheet, it consists of 50% solvent (mineral spirits, probably hexane which is similar to kerosene), 25% petroleum gas or carbon dioxide as propellant, and 15% mineral oil (light lubricating oil). The rest is inert.

I just try to remember that it is mineral spirits (solvent) and mineral oil (light lube). The solvent component evaporates.

If you cut up food do you worry about what oil you use on your knife?

No, a little bit of oil is good for you.

Am I the only here that uses WD40 almost exclusively? As for eating the oil if you use your knife to prepare food, I use my knife for everything. I cut open boxes, cut through CAT5 cable sheathes daily (job related), pick at my finger nails, cut string/robe, shave corrosion off of old terminals, chip paint off of new terminal connectors. Yeah I don't plan on using my work knives for eating because of the oil I lube them with... /sarcastic

For knives I use for foodmaking or cutting an appple or something else is Ballistol Oil. It´s made here in Bavaria, it´s the oil we use at work for our firearms and such stuff. But also my wife (she works in a butchery), use it for cleaning up the machines. That´s no problem for the very tough german food laws.

For all the other knives I also use the Ballistol.

Some guys also use it as some kind of medicine when being drunk a little bit (stomache-pain etc.).

Here´s a link to that company http://www.ballistol.de/
