Possibly, but baby oil tends to have other things in, like perfume, and is not designed for the lubrication of metals. Victorinox oil is reasonably cheap and lasts for a long time. I would not use it to lubricate humans
) Baby Oil is essentially mineral but as others have said, it contains all manner of fragrances and extracts-found it gums up knives actually. Saw some Victorinox oil on a Bay 50€ plus 26 postage
street drugs could be cheaper!
on Hagglezon that searches all the european amazon sites, it comes out at under 6 EurosMy part of EU you can't buy mineral oil anymore, nobody uses it as laxative (not enough Pharma profits
Wow... stunning! What a great collection!
That is one nice looking knife!! And I agree, that would make for a great GEC run!Think it fair to say that GEC has been influenced by Winchester Black Box to an extent: 29, 33. 68 models have their counterparts. So what I'd like to see is them making a Medium Stockman on this BB from 1987. It has many virtues: low riding but decent sized blades, commanding snap W&T, semi-sunk joints and the Bone isn't bad.....just like GEC to make it all steel construction-which they do so well.

I did not know all of this! Great to learn more about how things came to be!! Thank you for all of this information!
Amen to that. How does that compare to the Case 18 Stockman which to me is a perfect size.Think it fair to say that GEC has been influenced by Winchester Black Box to an extent: 29, 33. 68 models have their counterparts.

Ballistol is said to be safe to consume… but you have to deal with the smellMy part of EU you can't buy mineral oil anymore, nobody uses it as laxative (not enough Pharma profits
Using Mobil 0-20W just now, ultra thin but not food safe.

wow that winchester 2921 looks great, thanks for the pics.
You say that like it's a good thing...
Last time I reached out, I'd say maybe a week? But they're a small company (I assume) and probably working through a holiday backlog so turnaround might be a bit slower than usual for emails. I remember the days when I used to work for a family-run company and kind of project that in my head to be honest.
That's most likely the case. Just worried that maybe it got into spam or something. I'll wait then.
I've been looking through GEC's archives but haven't had much luck - would anyone know offhand if GEC has made a coffin jack? I was unexpected to find how much I liked the eureka jack shape and now I find myself straying from the purity of a single blade... the recent 35s, 38s, and 39s all great but now my brain is fixated on the pattern I didn't get my hands on when I could.
edit: nevermind, there happened to be a listing for an 87 winchester in bone so that'll tide me over. frankly i'm amazed i lasted 14 days into the new year, I'm really making great strides at managing my impulsiveness.
weirdly that's a relief! Just means something to keep an eye out for in the future. The first GECs that really caught my eye when I was looking at an alternative to a benchmade crooked river were the ancient TC Barlows - the heartbreak when I learned that they weren't just simply out of stock is hard to laugh at even today ... to be naive, right? Jokes aside, its cool how much you learn trying to track down a shape you think looks neat thanks.
