What oil or protective agent you use after cleaning?

Last 20 years these are my choices of lubs and protect. What is yours?

Been using KPL lately for pivots.

Mineral oil for carbon steel blades.

 

[Joseph Bandeko]

I have that same stuff, don't really use it much anymore.

I usually use Axe Wax for blade and handle protection and KPL or BM Blue Lube for moving parts.

I have that same stuff, don't really use it much anymore.

I usually use Axe Wax for blade and handle protection and KPL or BM Blue Lube for moving parts.

I do quite a number of cooking knife sharpenings which include White and Blue paper steels, so I stick with Camelia oil.
If I didn't have any I'd use Mineral oil.

Ballistol for knives and guns.

Birchwood Casey Barricade is the best I've found but I haven't done exhaustive testing of everything on the market. I've see lots of people do their own informal testing of various products against each other, and sometimes the results of one test are not consistent with the results of another test. In my test there was a big difference in performance of some of the products. Surprising to me Renaissance Wax didn't do well, nor did the stuff that A.G. Russell sells.
