I discovered recently that when cleaning my knives if I first spray them with endust and then dry them off I save myself loads of time. The endust seems to take off almost everything, (sap, dirt, oil, etc) I then clean my blade with a product calledrust prevent, wipe them down and then the final step I wipe them down with a tuf-cloth. This process seems to work very well for me. My question is; does anyone think endust isnt good for the knife? thanks!!!!!!
 
never used it. doesnt it make the handle slick? where do you get the rust prevent? if the endust wont hurt the handle material or make it slick then go for it.
 
The endust doesnt bother the handle, i use a 100 % cotton shirt to wipe off teh endust and also the rust prevent. As for the rust prevent, it was given to me by a contractor, it has qualities similar to tuf-cloth. It says shooters choice on the bottle. I have never seen the stuff, but it seems to be good stuff. I discovered the how endust worked by trying it on a stubborn spot i had on my BRKT bravo-1, worked wonders. I had tryed several different sprays and CLP type deals before the endust. thanks for your post.
 
I never tried that, but I would suspect (not having tech info in front of me) that it contains some waxes and silicones. That's not bad...nor is it good. I think it would be neutral.

If I've been hacking away at some stuff, or cutting tape when opening boxes, and there is residue on my blades, usually I'll use a little Simple Green that I keep in a small spray bottle in the shop. Most often though, I'll use HOT water, dishsoap, and a sponge.
 
WD-40 works great at getting sticky stuff off. It was first invented as a cleaner and Water Displacer.....hence the WD.
