Rem-Oil?

ballsagne · Jun 20, 2009

I have a few assisted open folders as well as a variety of other knives some of which get more use than others. I noticed that some of my cheaper folders had started some minor rusting (due to the humidity here, I think), so I rubbed them down with some Rem-oil. It took what little rust there was off but is this a good choice for lubrication and protection of all of my knives?

Yes, REM oil has great rust protection and lubricant, many of the users here will agree.

I've used Rem Oil for years.

I use it all the time on guns and knives both!

I did a comparison here. I know use Remoil exclusively when trying to prevent rust.

for long term no use storage, i like break free clp. but if im using a knife, i keep it lubed and protected with rem oil. its cheap and easy to find, and it works well.

I used Rem-Oil (saturated cloths - got hundreds of them free once) for years on my knives and my firearms. I only recently made the switch to Break-Free for my firearms and Blue Lube for my knives. Rem-Oil is great I just like the others better. Seems like I used more Rem-Oil too. I can be more frugal with the newer stuff...maybe its just beccause it costs way more and I use it more sparingly!

Rem-oil is fine but there are better such as Corrosion X. http://www.corrosionx.com/
I use it on both my guns and fishing tackle (saltwater) and it works better then anything else I've tried.

I have been satisfied with Rem-oil on everything I have used it on. I got several small dropper bottles and use it on everything. Smells bad though.

Rem oil is the way to go!

Another vote for Rem-Oil, it works.

I have used Rem-oil in the past. It seems to work well. I now prefer a dry type lubricant / protectant. I use Eezox, I started using it after I purchased my Seecamp pistol (Its recommended by the manufacturer).

mnblade · Jun 21, 2009

I bought a small bottle a few years ago and am still using it. Great stuff.

I have Rem Oil and Hoppe's 9 oil. I used Rem Oil mostly at first, but I didn't like the film it left, so now I use the Hoppe's 9.

After my last bottle of 3-in-1 started running out, I started looking around at other brands & types. Rem oil came up a lot. I have some, and after michaelmcgo's test, I think I'll start using it more. :thumbup:

thx - cpr

weird, maybe i got a bad can or maybe they changed it a little since i used it (apx 20yrs ago), but i thought it was crap. i mean crap to the point where i've NEVER put it on anthing i own, since then.

G96 Gun Treatment, I really like this for knives and firearms. Find it really makes my folders open easy.
