Solution for anti rust and oxidation business

Barricade used to be called Sheath. Its good stuff and supposedly designed to not attract dust etc. It also protects against finger prints and such.

I'm a big fan od Du-Lite Qwick seal. It dries to a non oily finish, has wax in it so it doesnt run. It doesn't build up. When you apply it removes the previous application.
Many firearm manufacturers us it when they ship out new guns. Also very popular with rebluing outfits.

Only trouble for me is it's hard to find. Most places you have to buy by the case.

Brownells carried it for awhile then discontinued.
 
Alright, so I like this lanolin idea, I'm sold, in fact I picked some up.

How are you applying it to your khukri? With your finger, with a cloth?

How are you applying it to your sheath?
 
Finger works well. Since it doesn't stick to it as much as to a cloth. I know in theory, some small amount of finger sweat might touch the blade this way, but haven't experienced any rust yet.
I imagine some plastic foil would work well too. If you warm the lanolin it becomes more liquidy and less sticky, so that a cloth might work too.
 
vikings used to line their scabbards with sheepskin with the wool still on it. helped keep the blade rust free from the lanolin. lanolin is good for leather and horn grips, not so much for wood ones.

That sounds quite similar to Rusty's Rags which I'm assuming most of the gun and knife community is familiar with. I wonder if it'd be beneficial to do this now, and impregnate the sheepskin with silicone lubricant or something.

Self-lubricating sheath anyone?
