Ballistol vs Hoppes 9 vs RemOil

[navman]

I make the wife daub it on like perfume on date night.

So old, the label peeled off, but the bottle itself tells the tale...

Synthetic motor oil for guns (or a 50/50 mix of synth oil and ATF), and mineral oil for knives.

 

[jeffbird]

Food grade mineral oil for knives.

Hoppe’s Benchrest Copper Sovent or Barnes solvent for guns, followed by Montana gun oil for barrels. Lucas Red’n Tacky No. 2 for bolt lugs, bolt on rifles and most pistol parts.

I got the Ballistol in and I really like it. I really like that it's safe for skin.

Hey! I just put a dab of Hoppes No 9 behind each ear! It drives the ladies wild! For knives I prefer liquid wax for folders. It doesn’t attract lint, dirt. Human grade mineral oil for carbon steel knives & especially cutting boards. Do not put olive oil on wood cutting boards. It can turn rancid & make you poop like a Goose…

Hoppe's, Lucas Oil, and Rem Oil primarily on guns with mineral oil on knives that may be in contact with food.

They should make candles that smell like Hoppe's to light in the fall to bring in hunting season to offset the pumpkin spice everything.
