I was shopping at Ikea with the missus when I saw the oil on sale... She was kind of surprised I was so happy to find it. If only she knew why. Anyway, a google of mineral oil shows that it has many uses
CLICK and yes, knife maintenance is one of them.
I won't be making any new acquisitions for a while as the knife collection has grown quite a bit. For the next one month or so I'll be working on maintenance and such. I'm weighting my options, either the DMT or EdgePro system but long term storage is the priority as I'll need to store my knife somewhere for a few months due to house moving.
If you were going overseas for a backpacking trip what kind of knife would you pack? I'm leaning towards a folder. Doubt I have time to receive my custom fixed blade in time as the maker estimates another 5month to completion. Folders should be easier to keep too I guess. May just bring along a SAK. Won't have any trouble with customs as it's rail, bus and lots of walking for 9days.
