Which specific Flitz product does everyone use on their khukuris? There are several different products and I'm not sure which would be best for a khukuri.

I couldn't find Flitz at my local hardware store but I picked something up called (I think) MAAS. It certainly shines up the blade and the brass plus it claims to leave a protective coating.

I must have about the same one Berk has. I like the way it works on all my knives!

The down side is that I followed directions the 1st. time I used it and scratched the finish on my Marbles Woodcraft.

After that I use a soft cloth and as Berk says, "easy on the pressure."

Another product that others recommend highly is Simichrome. I haven't used it personally, but bought an old Cattaragus 225Q that was cleaned up beautifully with it.
I imagine that the proper use for it would be the same.

Yvsa,
Try putting it on with your fingers,oils from your fingers works in with what your using.It will turn black,then wipe off.Combo. of oils really does the job!Think you will like it!

Phone number for Flitz is 414-534-5898.

You can buy a small can for about $50 if you are a hard core user. Should last you about 5 years for a blade collection of around 1,000.

How do I know this? One of my old time customers has 1100 (more than 100 HI khukuris) blades in his collection and he just called me with the above info.

I use MetalGlo and one of those 'magic stone' metal erasers.They are basicly a rubber block treated with some polishing compound? Works good for heavier sports that need removed before final polishing.
 
1100 blades !?


Holy Moley that's a lot of blades...Somehow I feel an inferiority complex coming on

:-*

(goes home counting his blades...hmm 17...1083 to go...)
