Both Rennassaince wax and Flitz. I searched all of my normal dealers and none of them had both. The one place I found online that had both was up there in price. So I thought someone here might know of a good place Thanks
 
I couldn't find either product on their site. You got a link please? Thanks in advance
 
:D Sorry, if it was as easy as putting both in google and looking for a knife site in the url, I wouldn't be posting:p
 
If you spent more than 5 minutes looking you've probably spent more money on your time then you saved. :p
 
:o Everyone wants to feel like they got a good deal:D

While I am at it, does anyone have any recomendations for applying the rennassaince wax?? Never used it before
 
There is a guy that regularly sells Renaissance Wax on Ebay. Something like $17 for the smaller tin. That's where I got mine.
 
You dont need much Renn wax at all, it speads easily.Most people put it on with the fingers, just slide your fingertips lightly in it then rub all over the blade, let dry and buff with a soft cloth.It makes everything look better, I use it very lightly on stag and wood handles too and it makes them look better. To stress how little you need to use-I bought a can of it at the NY show in 1996 and have a pretty good size collection and use it twice a year-the can is still about half full.
For non-stainless blades I usually do them with Flitz before the Renn for extra protection. Alot of people dont know that Flitz makes a different polishing liquid wax also without any abrasive, I get it at my local gun store.

Use a small soft cloth (like maybe 3" square at most) to apply the wax.

Try to avoid waxing just one or two knives. Line up a whole bunch. the first knife takes a lot of wax because you've got to first wet the cloth. After that, you'll get about every fifth knife for free (i.e. you won't have to get any more wax out of the tin).

As with any product, it helps to understand what it is and how it works. It's a microcrystaline wax with a volatile petrolium spirit base. As you apply it, a bit of heat from the rubbing melts the wax causing it to flow smoothly surface irregularities. When the volatile spirit evaporates, the wax crystalizes into a hard finish. You then buff off all but the wax that is in direct contact with the metal leaving a very thin but very protective coating behind. So, start by rubbing to get it to flow. Then allow it to sit for a few minutes to let the spirit evaporate. And, finally, buff it.

This is great stuff. If you own any real silver, jewlery, antique table service, etc., Ren Was will save you hours and hours of polishing.
 
Thank you gentlemen, This will be my first time using it, as I now want something for long term protection as opposed to some standard oil.

One last question. Do you think Flitz + Damascus= Disaster?? :)
 
We recommend Flitz Paint and Fiberglass Restorer and Metal Polish to maintian your Damascus Steel blade. The Flitz will remove rust and finger acids and not damage the pattern in the steel.
