Protective Oil or Wax?

[sepcat]

Is there a single protective oil or wax product that can be used both to protect a high carbon blade and help replenish and protect leather handles as well?

Is there a "one does all" product?

Thanks.

Mineral oil is good for preserving most natural handle materials such as stag, bone and wood (I haven’t tried it on leather, so I don't know if it is OK to use on leather). Mineral oil will also keep steel from rusting, and since it is non-toxic it is good for blades used for food prep. Mineral oil also a very good honing oil.

Yes..., Renaissance Wax is great stuff, and works pretty darn well on a myriad of {stuff}..

As mentioned.., mineral oil does work well for some applications, but I prefer Teak Oil or Watco Oil for natrual woods personally...(although Watco is fairly toxic) ~~> so wear a mask.
