Lemon Oil ?

Its been a while since I was last in Atlanta..but I do remembe a place in Buckhead...hmmm..lets see what was the name??? Maybe we will just stick with the Hotel Bar. First 2 rounds on me..dang it!!!!
 
This weekend I was all fired up to go get some of that Lemon Oil, but given the direction this thread has gone, I may choose another stag preservative.
 
Go for the Orange oil thawk, that by all accounts does the same trick, I hope it's not to late for me, I stopped by Wallyworld this evening and bought a bottle of Formby's best. :eek:

Tried the Lemon Oil last night on a few stag and bone pieces. The stuff works great. You don't get that wet look from it due to it's ability to penetrate. Used some small artist brushes to apply it with. Good stuff.

I bought some Formby's yesterday and applied it to my bone and stag handles, it does work great thanks for the nice tip..

Somewhere in the national headquarters of Formby's Lemon Oil folks are wondering what in the heck caused the spike in sales in the month of May...:p :D

rebeltf beat me to it... I have a bottle of this stuff, and it works great on stag and certain woods. I use it on my Camillus OVB fiddleback maple handled bowie, and it makes the wood absolutely POP! I also use it on my stag pieces. Absolutely great stuff, and a little bit goes a long way.

Yea , it does do a good job , although earlier it was mentioned that if the knife were real dirty or gunky that the whole knife could be soaked in lemon oil to help loosen up the action and so forth , I'm not sure this particular brand would work well in that context since it has beeswax added.

But yea , it does a great job on woods and stag. :D am I making sense ??
 
That's it, I'm closing this thread down right now. There. It's locked. Wait a minute, I'm not a moderator. 3 of you owe me a beer, since I wasted that many through my nose reading these posts.... :D
 
It wasn't our fault, honest! Well, I guess I could stand you a beer. ;)

Yep, makes sense to me. You can rinse a cruddy folding knife in clean kerosene, blow it out with compressed air and relube. I sure wouldn't soak(submerge) a knife anything in lemon oil. "A little dab'l do ya" :) (ok you ole farts, what old 60s commercial is that phrase from?

I think it was Brylcreme (although I'm sure I am too young to remember;))

Brylcreem is the right answer.

Yea..that's what Wikipedia says. Oh well:rolleyes: my memory sucks but they are both hair products I didn't/don't use. I like saying Dippity Do better than I like saying Brylcream. Sounds like something you'd put on a rash or roids.:D

Thanks Mr Blues for swoopin down and saving the day. :thumbup:
 
BTW...a little dab'l do ya will work for Dippity Do too. Truth be known... a little dab is way too much to use for most hair products that came out of the 50s and 60s.:D
 
Alright Elliott, Kerry, break it up. I’m not going to let some roosters scratching in the dirt over hair products hijack this thread away from the lemony essence. Be warned, I’m watching both of you.
