Investment grade knife care

There's only one danger to Rennesaince Wax:

Once you buy a jar of this stuff, you will start waxing everything you own. This is great stuff.
 
I haven't used ren. wax, even though I really to, but there may be one small problem, and that is getting into tight cracks were rust might build up and then split the handle apart.........
Okay, maybe I'm being paranoid, but I've had a couple bad experiences with rust.
 
Couldn't you just melt the wax, then apply? Or apply a layer of wax and place the waxed object near an indirect source of heat.
 
Ren wax becomes almost liquid as you rub it. The heat from your hand and the rubbing makes it melt to almost a liquid. Then, when the carrier evaporates, the wax hardens.
 
Besides Rennaissance Wax which is a great product, a high quality oil such as Nyoil or Cammelia oil should be put on the blade. Mineral oil is also good for ivory or stag handles.

I knew you would chime in. I had to go back and find the thread I remember where you made the ren wax remark relative museums.

See, I do remember, though I had a hard time remembering the name of the wax, consequently the lookup.
