I've been using Tuff-Glide and Tuff-Cloths for sometime now with Good Results:) However, I've heard folks say the Mili-tec is better, and I've also heard that Renaissance Wax is better still??? My question is, what is the BEST way to keep a knife in NIB condition, especially those that are NEVER carried or used, only collected and keep in a box/drawer. Also does Renaissance Wax really keep bone handles from cracking, does it affect their color? What about Mili-tec???? Also I've been used Tuff-Glide/Tuff-Cloth on all of my knives, are Mili-tec or ren wax, or anything else potentially better? Is one thing better to use on collectors, and another on users??? Any ideas welcome:) Also, how do u get that green stuff off of brass and nickel-silver bolsters without ruining/scratching the knife????? Is Flitz good?
 
I am rather interested for regular maintenance myself. The above link seems to be more about long-term storage. What about keeping your users/EDC in the best shape possible?

That seems to be a different topic. Perhaps you can start a separate thread to discuss it.
 
I was actually curious about both myself, but you may be right that it'd be bettter to have separate threads.
 
OK, I've done some research on militec and I don't think I like it, and I'm leery of putting wax on a knife. I really like Tuff products and I think I may stick do them, how do Sentry products (Smooth Kote) work for guns????????? I've always used nitro solvent and just regular gun oil to clean/lube firearms, is Sentry's Armorer's Kit better. Also, HOW do I get that green stuff off bolsters without scratching them????? How would gun oil be for long term knife storage??
