I spray WD40 on garden tools to protect from rust and it gums up in a few weeks.
I never use it as a lube and I don't use it for rust protection on anything I care about ( ie guns or knives)
I use Militech-1 for lubrication and RemOil for rust protection.
Which od those do you use for knives? I heard from one guy on UT and watched as he used militech, which he and I were very well aware is for guns, and he then used a strong hairdryer to heat it up enough to "activate" he said the bonding of the oil? I don't have guns, so I've never had to understand this stuff, I'm learning all this as I'm trying to find a way to protect and care for my new additions to my blade collection, the none stainless
and while I hear mineral oils is good? I hear it's messy, gums up the pivot, and to be honest I don't like the political talk of, it's not officially a cancerogenic item, but like it's still mentioned because... who knows
leaves me feeling uneasy about it. But I am a little bit paranoid when it comes to chemical I don't know much about. Stainless was just easy, if anything got stuck on it a good wash and wipe was enough, worst case scenario a alcohol rub to clean anything sticking to it. But yeah. New to this whole, I'll be with rust tomorrow if you ignore me stuff
so some instruction for my ignorant butt would be awesome. Gotta learn sometime right?
Oh yeah lost track, someone else mentioned on another post here that the film militech oil leaves actually ruins the knife? But he gave no clarification on how, my hopes of a 3v protected by militech-1 seems to be crushed if he is right, any insight on anyone who knows? And what's my alternative options?
