Now, before anyone says it, using my blade is the best rust prevention. Yes I know that. Buuuuut, it is very humid where I live and I work outside. Even my blades that I dont carry and sit in my blade drawer rust slightly if not oiled regularly. I just use a bit of FP-10 gun oil. What do you all use and do you feel one works better than others for EDC knives as opposed to stored knives?

Regular tuff cloth. Actually I think anything that puts a greasy layer on the steel would work. Just my E 0,02.

Could use wd 40 too i guess but not if you use your knives for food prep.

I use veg oil it's in a bottle on my kitchen counter and is safe on food and good for the leather. Do you think my wife will let me keep rem oil on the kitchen counter.

Does veggie oil get tacky over time or do u just rub it on the knives that get regular use?

I like a product called SQCG - super quick clean guns, its a CLP+ works very well, but I also did a ton of research and found Eezox and am trying that out too.

I've found that rem oil is worthless for rust protection and WD40 not much better.

Oh, and I've tried several Hoppe's versions even their thick super protection oil junk and it doesn't prevent rust very well either.

I use nano oil for joints and tuf cloth n ballisol oil to protect for long term storage. Ballisol is also good for renewing g 10 handles makes em look like new I just rub it in by hand and let it soak in. A lil goes a long way

Good to know SY66. I have nano oil and Balisol too, just never used them on my blades.
