The current limited edition of the KA-BAR E.W. Stone Knife (skull handle) comes with a blued blade. KA-BAR customer service recommended Du-Lite regarding routine maintenance for blued blade. I called Du-Lite who was very cooperative. Here's the process for my monthly knife cleanings, or earlier if need be:

1) Wipe blued blade with mineral spirits solvent and let dry
2) Fill "thin" vessel with Du-Lite's "Kwik-Seal" and place knife blade into it (product instructions will tell me how long)
3) Remove knife blade from "Kwick-Seal" and let dry.
4) Pour used "Kwik-Seal" back into it's container for re-use

Does anybody have any concerns or suggestions regarding the above process? I'm just being extra careful not to mess up this knife. Thank you
 
Just heard about using Renaissance Wax to preserve knife blades. Has anybody used Renaissance Wax on a blued blade? Thank you
