Hello, these are my 5 Custom Shop 110's. I just cannot keep them clean! Ive got Tuff Cloths, Blue Lube, Ballistol and Brasso yet the bolsters look like crap! What do you folks do for your 110's to keep them clean?

I use BlueMagic Metal Polish Cream. It leaves a silicone film which helps. If you are handling and using them they will never stay perfect. I would try waxing them in that case. I know there are some wax products but have no experience with them. That is an impressive rack BTW.
 
BlueMagic sounds like something I can get at Walmart yes? I know theyll never stay clean as I use all of them in rotation. Just cannot believe Ive got specks of rust on the nickel bolster of my favorite Custom Shop 110. Oddly my doo doo Lochsa stays free of all that have no idea why...

Those are awesome, I personally like the patina on the bolsters of my 110 so I'm not much help in that department.
 
Im hoping the local Walmart has at least the tube of polish or maybe even the gun/knife kit. Just watched some vids on Flitz stuff looks pretty damn impressive. I paid good money for nice shiny bolsters and I intend to keep them that way. Hit all 5 knives with a fresh Tuff Cloth tonight which did a LOT of good just need that Flitz polish to finish the job then find some of that awesome wax and go over the blades and bolsters...cant stand having to spend 15 minutes every night that I EDC one one of these blades cleaning off finger prints etc...
 
I use my kit regularly, not just on my knives.
the wax will help with oxidation on the brass.
just dab a little on the bolsters and let dry, and buff off.

I do nothing to the brass unless it has verdigris on it - I like the dull look of older brass (except on a uniform!) OH

Flitz to clean and polish, and Renaissance wax to keep them that way.
