How much oil do you keep on your kuks in storage times ?

Clean with dog slobber. Nothing better. Leave it on a few days for a good patina. Then wipe with bacon fat or lard (optional). Just kidding of course

If you dont have dogs then clean with rubbing alcohol and rub with mineral oil and boiled linseed oil mix. Ratio dont matter.

I am not sure, but it seems the shop packs the knives with a non-toxic organic coat based on soy oil...anyone who knows better should feel free to chime in here...

Just licked mine, but all I taste is blood. That can't be what they use though..OHH thats just my tounge. Disregard..

Check out this thread though, it's got some great info and "pro" tips on blade and handle care. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1315217-Horn-Mineral-oil-amp-Lanolin

I use 3 In 1 oil on the khuks that get used. They're working tools, not investments and so don't have to last forever nor impress anyone. But the wall hangers get a little mineral oil.

Same oil on my khuks, works well

Kinda....saved up enough from several knives and fried up some fish in it.....

Somebody had mentioned the name and it seemed a derivative name of soy products over in that neck of the woods....i could be way off....it certainly has no rank petroleum smell...or any at all...
