A number of years back, there was a guy at a gun show selling a product called "sweetshooter" made by a company named Tecrolan. He was if coarse telling of all the great things this product would do, one of which was how it would protect a carbon steel knife from rust and stains.
So, I bought a small bottle of it, and took it home and put it in one of my boxes in the garage, and forgot about it. The other day, I was cleaning the garage out and found it.
I was wondering if anyone has ever used it, and if it is as great as they say it is. I know how highly tuf-cloth is talked about on this forum, but I couldn't turn up anything about sweetshooter using the search feature.
Here is the tecrolan/sweetshooter link, in case you would like to check it out.

I just recently got a new knife that Steve Isbell made for me, and it is made of A2 steel. I just finished putting about 6-7 coates of sweetshooter on it, and am going to put it to the test. I think I will use it for some kitchen duty,(since it's my weekend to grill) and not take any great pains to clean and dry it.
I actually like a nice "patina" on a carbon steel blade, as it is the character of a knife that is actually put to good use. As long as you treat your using knife like your wife, (by stroking her every night before bed!
)the edge will stay in good shape even if the rest of the blade is allowed to develope a patina.
Trivia question---
Who was it, and from what made for tv mini series, did the line about treating your blade like a woman, by stroking her every night come from?
If you know the answer to this, you are my kind of guy! After all, it's just from the greatest mini series that ever came a long, and will likley never be surpassed!
