    Yes it works just fine,,,

    I would call it safe on every scale material I have run across, except unfinished or beeswax finished wood, those it might penetrate, but then again so will anything else...

    If you actually take the time to look at the test results out there, only a very few products beat it for rust prevention too..
    It will gum up over extended periods but I have it on some of my seldom used collection razors (1 use per year) and have had no problems there either...

    BTW The next thing you will hear is "I wouldn't put it on my face" I don't know about you guys but I actually rinse my razors before I use them.....

    PS: This exact same discussion is on here at least 5 times that I can think of

    So if it does gum up, how does one go about removing the gum? I think that's happening to my folding knife.

    Any "Gun Scrubber" will work instantly to clean and dry a folding knife same with the internals on guns...
    The problem with these cleaners if they are very harsh so be careful with it...

    I find that what was etched on the old IXL pocket knives,"Oil The Joints." works for me. A drop of 3 and 1 and work the blade back and forth and I'm usually good to go. I sometimes stick the knife under the tap and run hot water in the jaws and then dry it and oil it. Cutting those tomatoes can gum up the works if you let it get up in the jaws.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
