I keep seeing Tony Bose posting that you need to put lemon oil on your stag.
Tony and all,or any,can you tell me where to get,how to know when to use it,and how to use it??
Thanks in advance,

Go to Wallyworld in the paints and supplies isle and look for Formby's Lemon Oil Treatment. It's a clear bottle with a red cap and is all lemony looking...can't miss it. :) When you use it, it enhances the look of bone and stag. As long as you don't submerge anything in it, it shouldn't hurt a thing. Just a little on your finger and rub it it. It smells good too, kinda like.....lemons.:D
 
Thank's Kerry !

+1...yep, Formby's. That is what I use, you don't need much when applying it either. I just put my finger on the inside of the cap or top of the bottle and get a little residue and rub it on the bone, ivory or stag. Smells nice and gives it a great look.

I've been using mineral oil but I'll give that a try on some old stag I have. Thanks for the before and after Randy, and thanks for asking Vince. I wasn't quite sure what it was either.
 
Best place to ask,right ?
Thanks for all , guys,

Just did a bit on some stag and older bone..WOW!! Works great..Thanks for asking Vince and for sharing the info Kerry..
 
Huh! I have a bottle of that Formby's Penetrating Lemon Oil Treatment down in the shop. Never occurred to me to use it on my knives.

I usually use mineral oil. Ren Wax if I really feel motivated.
 
Wally World here we come,lol!!
While your there,pick up some suede Microtex brand polishing towels,these work great for wiping down your knives,in the automotive section.

Sidham told me one time. when Brummett was a pup, that the pocket knife repairmen in the old factorys would soak a knife in lemon oil over night before they would take it apart because it made the bone more plyable and it didn,t crack as easy while they worked on it. It's very penetrating and I've used it for years. It's like the monkey said when he crapped over a cliff "A little bit goes a long way"
 
Thanks Tony,I am glad I asked.

I'm glad you did as well, Vince since it never dawned on me that Formby's was going to be the secret elixir. A bottle of that stuff goes a long way. I think I've had the same one now for over three years as best as I can recall.

That's what I have always used, mineral oil....but lemon oil makes perfect sense. It's pretty "fine" and light, and I imagine it penetrates remarkably well. Something like walnut or jojoba oil would probably work also....they both have a low viscosity and penetrate easily.

Do not put anything on your knife that might make it smell "girly". :o

You hear that Robuck? That's a subtle way of telling you to stop using Oil Of Olay!!! :eek: :eek: :D :p ;)
 
I smell good, and so should my knife. Just for the record, I don't like to wear women's clothes, I just find them more comfortable. And I keep my knife in a pink pouch because it highlights my eyes real well.
