Guess I am out of touch but saw where someone had some knives for sale and said he had "chapsticked" the blades; why?

I'd like to know why he "Chapsticked" the blade to...maybe he was talking about puting marker on the edge to see if he's
Sharpening at the rite angle.

Chapstick is an old trick for protecting blades from corrosion. Food safe too.

Put it on the knife After you use it on your lips.

I used to do this when I wanted to pack my knives away for an extended period of time.

That's weak... if you're a manly man, you'll put it on your knife, and use the sharp part to put it on your lips!!!
