I was just curious about how some of you give "long term care" for your knives. For example, long term storage; what is a good overall lube/coating to use and how often do you wipe down your blades/knives and with what. I store mine in a safe and in the open position, and am just looking to better protect the knives for the long haul. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I normally keep mine in the sock drawer. Put them in clean and dry (knives and socks both) and have never had a problem. Some do not get any periodic care and others only get oiled/cleaned if I have been using them. Some are stainless and some are carbon and none have rusted well stored. May want to keep a desicant in the safe and leave a thin coat of oil or use a Tuf-cloth if you are the paranoid type.

For knife care, use Tuf-Cloth and Tuf-Glide--your knives will be clean, smooth, and protected. As for Tuf-Glide, 1 or 2 drops goes a long way. Tuf-Cloth use depends on how often you use your knives.
