Keeping the brass beautiful...

[folsom]

OK, I've got these great, beautiful knives from PCKS (and others) with lovely brass bolsters. Ho2w do I keep the brass looking great???

Flitz polishes it up perfectly, but within a few days, it starts to oxidize and look dull again. What's good for KEEPING it looking good?

Rennaisance wax will delay the brass oxidation for a while. I am still looking for a better solution! Any one have any ideas?

I've been using PEEK on mine. It does eventually need it again, but that just means more "quality time" with my toys...

Maybe an oil-based varnish would work, or a thin coat of a silicone based lubericant.

Been wondering myself how to keep the brass shining, I guess that is why I usually get stainless or nickel silver bolsters when I buy a knife.

A good cleaning and polishing with Flitz followed by a coat of Rennassaince Wax is about the best I have found so far.
