Oiling your knives?

[kniferbro]

Tons of great advice depending what you want. Here is a cell pic I just took of my GEC 85. It has seen the most carry of any of mine. Mountain bike rides, out on the ocean, at the beaches, and lots more.

I took a note from Carl and just let it go!! I have not polished anything on this knife for months! The bolsters look fine to me.

She makes another appearance! Man, that is a fine looking blade.

I've found a Miracle Cloth does an amazing job making dingy bolsters shiny again. They're also great at taking surface rust off of carbon steel blades and backsprings.

Eagle One NevrDull wadding polish works great,and Balistol oil.

I use camellia oil on all mine. Non toxic so it's cool to use the knife to cut food an not worry about the chemicals.

Thanks Gevonovich! Its a lot of utility in such a slim 1.8 ounce package

I go mineral oil. But I'm a little lazy with it so I get a patina pretty quick.

I clean the joints and outside springs with a damp toothbrush with mineral oil
And then a cloth to dry the outside springs

Once in a while on certain knives I get a bee in my bonnet, I polish them with brasso
Good for the old complusive behaviour.....
