Has anyone noticed a difference between Tuf-Cloth and generic Silicone rags? Does one last longer than the other, is the Tuf-Cloth material more durable? Does the protection last as long, etc. I've been buying the generic from local place, and I want to know if you guys think I should do the upgrade.

Superman wipes his @$$ with a Tuf-Cloth.

Hope this helps.

Okay,
thanks for the info and the email. Let me ask you (or anyone) what's up with the Marine tough cloth? I live in a fairly high-humidity area, and I was think about that one.
 
Marine Tuf-Cloth is superior for hot/humid (marine) type environments such as down here in coastal South FL. It has some added ingredients to deal with the harsher conditions.

I use it on my neck knives (primarily carbon steels and damascus) and have been very happy with the results.

I use Marine Tuf-Cloth and Tuf-Glide on all my "carry" knives for both protection and lubrication.

Marine Tuf-Cloth leaves a thicker, rather sticky residue on the blade. If all you're doing is carrying your knives around and using them in Ohio, the regular Tuf-Cloth will probably be more than sufficient. I use regular Tuf-Cloth in Alabama, and have had no problems with rust. I reserve Marine Tuf-Cloth for when I plan to swim with my knife in seawater or in a chlorinated pool.
