"The Montana Bladesmith"
We don't often talk about it, but pretty much ever serious knifemaker I know doesn't use oil on their knives, they use wax. Of course there are a ton of products out there to choose from, each with it's own pros and cons. Without getting into a "wax war" about what's good and what's not, and with thanks to my pal Karl Anderson for turning me on to it......

It does everything that my previous favorite wax did, but this stuff is MUCH "harder" and seems to protect much better..... when I first got it, I put it on my daily carry folder (52100 blade), and after several days it's still beading/shedding water, or any other liquid that the blade comes into contact with. I'm anxious to see how it does on exotic woods!
