What kind of oil do you use for your blades?

Hi All,

I recently met a gun collector at an antique show and he said that he swears by Corrosion X to keep his old guns rust free. I had never heard of it so I went online for more info. From what I read, Corrosion X compares well with Ballistol. I have never used it and probably never will as I prefer to use automotive wax on my blades because it is less messy than oil. I carefully inspect all my blades every three months.

Sincerely,
RobT

Hello all!

I'm a new member here. I personally use a light mixture of mineral oil and clove oil on most blades in my collection.

Protection with a pleasant sent.

Why thank you! I hope to post some picture of a few items in my collection soon to start a discussion.
