Drive/get on a train!

Well, that's a plan for when it gets a bit colder: book yourself a place with fireplace on Stayz (Australian thing, like Airbnb) that provides firewood, and you can bet that they'll not provide an axe to split said wood...

Really, a few seconds on a strop, or a few passes with a ceramic stick or stone and the discoloration is gone.

Whittler's a dry stick, same thing.

Seems like the best rust prevention for SR101 is to use it. Definitely my experience. I have approximately 15 Busse and family knives, only one is INFI. The bang to the buck ratio for SR101 vs INFI is ridiculous to me. As soon as I can get an SR101 CGFBM my INFI CGFBM will be gone and I won't miss INFI one bit.

I think what you're hoping for is the BGFBM. I'm looking forward to this one as well.

Chop down a tree. Pick up some firewood on the side of the road from a tree someone else chopped down. Buy some firewood from gumtree or something (it's summer now so probably cheaper but i'm just guessing). You could even go to bunnings and grab some 2x4's. Dig a fire pit in your backyard, stack bricks around it, practice making fires with just your knife and a ferro rod. Walk/ride your bike down the nearest reserve/bush/bike trail even. If it's too far, drive! If that's too much of a headache, plan a weekend away in the bush!

If none of those stick, I'd say you need to get out of the city, like, now. It's a hell hole anyway.

Get out there and have FUN!

I found this link in another forum – the author tested many different gun care products plus some general purpose lubricants.

http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=398836

The author said: "Corrosion inhibition: That's the primary reason for this evaluation." Other properties were also considered in the tests such as lubrication.

FrogLube (food-safe) did well in both corrosion tests; 3-in-1 oil was in the lowest performing group. I think each test method could potentially give different results, so as far as we know this set of tests and the one on YouTube are both valid but do give different results, like with the 3-in-1 oil. I think the bottom line is if a particular product works well for your needs, then keep using it unless there is a need to change.
