Does anyone have any advise for oiling white smooth bone knives? I usually oil the pivot area when I get a new traditional folder and work the action to smooth it up and lubricate the knife. This has never been a problem except when it comes to knives with white smooth bone handles. I use Benchmade blue knife lube, but it leaves oil stains in the white smooth bone handles (they seem to soak up the oil) after a couple of days. I do not overly apply the oil, and make every attempt to soak up any excess oil with a tissue. The resulting oil stains are unsightly, but I also don't want to live with a gritty action. Perhaps a different brand of oil or none at all?
