Thread: Edge Coating, Lucas Gun Oil

I think either way RIG of Gun oil is way above and beyond. Jimmy, think about how protective gun oil is for CW users and the harsh environments like sweat and high humidity. Any razor would cringe. Down here in Humid South Florida most serious people use Break Free gun oil but I would bet any one would be more than up to task.

Mike, for years my routine with minty Case Tested XX and XX knives has been to wipe them down with Semichrome and follow with RIG on the Outers Gun Cloth. I also use it on firearms (not the Semichrome) and RiG has never failed me. I don't leave a lot on. Wipe on and wipe off.

I did not realize you wipe it off. I wonder if it is a paraffin base plus whatever inhibitors or just grease with inhibitors. Does it smell waxy?

Oh it is definitely grease and petroleum based. Not waxy at all. I still can't believe they went out of biz.

I've been experimenting and thus far the WD-40 3-in-1 ( lubricates, clean and prevents rust ) runs off the blade. Camellia as it stands is far better.

I use Birchwood Casey Sheath Rust Preventive for my gun. It contains FPR ( finger print remover ). Excellent for humid and salt-air climates. It's harmless to stock finishes: plastic, rubber or even fabrics. Very ideal for moving parts. Which is why it's recommended for automotive, industrial and household appliances.

There's also Tuf-Glide and Tuf-Cloth developed for Seals. I'm sure some members here can provide feedback for you. I'll have to check my local Big 5 as Walmart's gun section doesn't carry it.
