Renwax

[Doppler Bob]

EJ Wheaton crystalline wax compared to Renaissance Wax. Both available at Amazon with Wheaton being about five Buck’s cheaper. Anyone tried both?

While I have not used both, I find the EJ Wheaton wax an excellent product for my .needs as a collector.

I've used Renwax for years on antique blades and sheaths. Works well - I friend who worked at a major museum turned me on to it. He said lots of museums use it to preserve/protect metalwork and leather.

That is interesting, i did not know they used it on leather.

Neutral paste shoe polish holds up better.

Does it matter if the knife handle has been mineral oiled, especially stag?

[Bill DeShivs]

Stag should not be oiled.Continually soaking stag in oil will ruin it.

Thank you, I’ve heard some say use food grade mineral oil, but didn’t try that until I got some Renwax users opinions.

 

[Rich S]

I've not used Renwax on stag, never had a reason to. Stag is very stable.

 

[johnny99]

Bob, as Bill stated stag is stable.I have used Wheaton wax on blades, wood scales, and new leather sheaths. Good stuff.

I've gone through a couple containers of the Ren wax. It is a good high quality product IMO. Dont know if it good enough over other products to justify the premium, but a jar will last forever.

 

[FortyTwoBlades]

One jar of Renaissance wax is a lifetime supply for most folks. I've had the same jar for something like 18 years or so and I'm only about halfway through it.

I've been using Renwax on my 1095 blades with no issues and also use it on wood. I've often wondered how it's rust prevention properties stack up to say tug-cloth.
