    The same people that give you grief about Remoil will just love Ballistol, not realizing that BOTH are simply mineral oil with a mild solvent. They work. They ain't miracle sauce😂

      I was about to make a comment about using Ballistol on leather sheaths and how great it works,and saw that you beat me to it. I use Ballistol for all my knives and guns,and anything else I need to use oil for.

    I really enjoy your videos. May I suggest you add canned air to your knife restoring arsenal. You can use it to blow the grit out of that pivot.

    my current Buck folding knife is the 251 Langford with the green G10 handle. If I can keep from cutting steel braided hoses it stays razor sharp. It is an import but I like it a lot.

  • @garyb.4080
    @garyb.4080 11 месяцев назад +2

    I’ve got a 1966 that. bought after boot camp. It’s not stainless, it’s regular carbon steel, other than one of the slabs having a small chip out of its as good today as it was back then, and I carried it for many many years! That Flits is the best!

  • @trynsurviven2440

  • @rab5890
    @rab5890 11 месяцев назад

    I agree with you on the oil. It gets into the heart of the leather, then condition it a couple of days after it's sucked all that oil in 👍

    @jerryphillips5112 11 месяцев назад

    Man, I totally love those old folding hunter Case XX knives. I restored two here while back. They turned out pretty good also. The one was a gummed up mess.I had to oil that bad boy 3 times. I'm still working it out too. I don't know what the heck they got in this knife. But, the messier the better for me. I enjoy tackling the more challenging restorations! 😊 I am excited about the Live Auction Kevin! Those boys better bring their wallets.... I love me some Auctions. I love me some knives. So, be ready everyone. There's NO FRIENDS in the Auctions! 🤣😂🤣😂

  • @WoodsmanHobo777
    @WoodsmanHobo777 11 месяцев назад +1

    I personally use mineral oil on my leather sheaths. Reason being is because if I use my blade for any kind of food processing I sure don't want a petroleum product on or in my food. I think thats why most people are saying you shouldn't use rem oil on your leather sheaths. Get you some mineral oil and Ballistol.

    Nice job. I've used an inexpensive ultrasonic cleaner with dawn to get rid of the gunk after the first scrubbing - I think it loosens the grime in the small crevices well. Great channel.

  • @WoodsmanHobo777
    @WoodsmanHobo777 11 месяцев назад +1

    The grime in the pivot just needs some WD-40. Once you get you a good amount of WD-40 open and close the blades a few times and it will pull that grime and grit out of the pivot.

  • @DavyCrockett101
    @DavyCrockett101 11 месяцев назад

    turned out great,i had a early 70s folding hunter like this that was beutiful but the blades was hard to open it had been polished and oiled but my fingernails would chip trying to open it so i had to sell it

  • @benjaminbeyer2401
    @benjaminbeyer2401 11 месяцев назад

    What might work is using very very fine sandpaper on that clip point could take away some of the previous grind marks , I love watching your work it's become a daily highlight for me thank Buddy !

  • @Orlosthedruid

  • @rickyhurtt5568
    @rickyhurtt5568 11 месяцев назад +1

    I'm really not picky. WD works also and just about any oil but for last couple years I've been using Rem oil mainly because I can get it for a good price at WM. Like you said been doing it for a couple decades atleast and never had any problem

    @TheWildGonzo 11 месяцев назад +1

    Love the channel and content Doc! Question. Why do you clean and oil before fixing edge? My concern would be it's too slippery to repair or having to do all those steps again. Love the content, my dad passed Down a lot of case knives that I added to my collection including a like new hunter. Keep it up brother.

    • @theknifedoctor
      @theknifedoctor  11 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you!! I wait to do the repair at the end, but it’s not oily or anything. It’s completely dry and clean when I work on the tip.
