"Even as a laxative"
Sorry mate I already got taco bell to do that for me 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ka Boom 💥
I have McDonald's lol....
i have chipotle
My favourite for EDC knives that might be used in casual food prep.
Be careful to ensure the Mineral Oil is of pharmaceutical (food grade) quality. (Available at any drugstore).
I'm happy that you mentioned mineral oil as a knife lubricant...most people would rather spend much more money on specialized oils, when a regular container of mineral oil will cost less than $5 and could last for decades of use.
Mineral oil is pretty much the only thing I use these days to protect my non stainless blades. It’s cheap, simple, odorless, food safe, and it just works!
This isn’t knife tips this is life tips
Oh yeah, that's what I use exclusively. Even my firearms, clean with mineral spirits, lube with mineral oil.
EVERY "brand" name of EVERY "clean/lube/protect" product at it's base has plain jane/food safe mineral oil/mineral spirits at its core:)
Then, they just spice it up or down with some other component and stick their name on it and suckers make them money.
Man I love Hoppes though. The scent package smells great. It cleans well, and provides a very thin film of lubrication.
Which I haven't had issues with dirt being attracted onto the surface. I am aware that the lubrication properties are not "the best".
Have you watched ProjectFarm
He's got a presentation on all of these!
Cheers.

YES! I'm guilty as well, as I love Hoppes too, and have some laying around still:) Use it from time to time, just for the smell, mainly cleaning my firearms.
Thanks, DCA. Be careful, everyone, not to confuse food grade mineral oil for mineral spirits.
Mineral oil is traditionally what gun & reel oil is, even the old army manuals would tell you to use it for lubricating your guns......It's also what Lemon Oil furniture oil is but with added color and scent.......I use it for all kinds of things.
"Even as a laxative"...bet after the next no2 your bum will be smooth as well. Less irritation wiping after having an english meal
Good ol' mineral oil. Fantastic for just about anything.
Any interference with plastics, ABS, polymers...? Some oils etch or solve that kind of materials, so not every oil is recommended for plastic mechanisms, as those in sewing machines.
Makes a good finish for bone handled knives.
Tiger Blades :- Good point!
Sometimes l also use good old vaseline.
Laxative?...down that knife oil when you got one over baking in the oven
That's my go to. Great for carbon steel and the only thing I use to lube my Victorinox knives.
Mineral oil was good enough for Grandpappy, good enough for me! 😂 That's the only thing i really use on my knives/stones. I'm sure the fancy stuff is awesome too, tho.
It's that allow for quenching hardening?
Im glad you said laxative. Back in the 70's - mid 80's my grandmother used to feed us Mineral oil as a laxative. Also it's good to keep our joints lubricated. Think of the Tin man from the Wizard of Oz.
Exactly what you said, Mr. Andersen. I use it for everything on my knives, especially because I use mine for food prep all the time.
Mineral oil sucks for preventing rust and it never dries.
What about gun oil? On sk85?
I would forgo the use of it as a wood finish. It does not dry/polymerize.
Best lubricant for those double duty camp and work knives! Use mine for my well used kabar bk16 that often sees use in the kitchen!
I’d personally recommend Ballistol.
can i use that in my brakes?
It changes the look and preserves bone and ivory handles.
Is it poisonous for example using for covering spoon or smoking pipe?
Most mineral oil is food safe, just make sure to look at the label for that indication. As for the pipe, that I do not know -DCA
Can i use wd40 the dust free kind not the regular wd40
WD-40 is NOT a lubricant.
Not even a teeny tiny bit.
It is a remover.
PERIOD!
Sorry, but I've seen countless people damage their property and mine by defiantly denying the laws of the universe that were created by the almighty God himself.
Seriously, God created the truth, and the truth is that WD-40 is so obviously NOT a lubricant that the United States Navy has a policy banning that crap from all of their floaty stuff, though some still sneak it onboard because they are convinced that they are smarter than the very God that created the all the freakin rules!
Obvious this is a huge issue with me.
I gotta meditate on it again.
Sorry.
😊🔪👍
Balistol is a good oil for EDC when you cutting Food.
Balistol is essentially mineral oil, and expensive.
@@brianc2399 OK i don’t know this my Benchmade Osborne 940 is allways prepared with balistol for two times. Next time i will change it. Thank you Sir.👍
Helmet polish
Food safe, but also a laxative. Yeah maybe I won't use it on my chopping board after all.
where can i buy this exact oil
Right here: bit.ly/44dcIzw
Would this be ok to use on carbon steel knives?
From what I've read on this thread, it should be fine. One person uses mineral oil only for their knives.
Tip: buy the larger bottle for like 2 bucks in the pharmacy area of your local drug store. Don't worry about buying the expensive repackaged bottles for more.
Can I use this on cpm 4v? But I assume not 20cv or cpm s30v etc
Use mineral oil on any steel, carbon or stainless, including 20CV, S30V, or any other steel. As a lubricant or rust/tarnish preventer, and perfectly safe on kitchen knives.
Also keeps wood, bone, stag, and other natural materials from drying out and cracking.
@@blueeyeswhitedragon9839 sweet, thanks! Also thanks for the nostalgia, BEWD was my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh card when I was a kid haha
@@slywolfe :- 🐉😊
Thanks for making this video very helpful and educational
I love my Ballistol mineral oil! 🥰👌 Just great for everything!
And being also save around food is just a big yes for a good mineral oil. ♥
I really like this guy. He is very nice and informative. He explains everything real good. He has a nicesmile and facial expression. Great energy too. I am very new to knife collection and like his style. Keep on keeping on.
Was with you all the way Dave-until you mentioned using mineral oil as a laxative; lost me there.
I report, you decide -DCA
Great video covering the many uses.
does it really protect carbon steel blades and how to correctly apply it for storing ?
I knew it was useful but David told me a few things I didn’t know👍🏻
Used mineral oil on the handle of my tranchete folding knife, it saturated the horn material quite well.
Does the mineral oil have to be a certain viscosity??
I think this is what we call liquid paraffin and yes,it is used as a pet laxative.
Can I use silicone based oil for knives?
A Laxative !! Holy Shit !
Singer sewing machine oil is also a great choice
So bring this on space missions good to know
how does it do on force patina-ing micarta?
I'd rather use rem oil
Laxative you say 🤔
Fire Arm oil
Haha great
Good....thanks
woah all in one I like that
Hey what stone is that
No idea, something that has been kicking around the office for years. No branding on it. -DCA
👌🇸🇪
LUBE!! for my son.
😂
I was told to use it to even out the micarta scales on my Civivi Pintail. It is all cloudy in the middle and I was told that was part of the finishing process. I assumed a knife of that price point, or any price point, wouldn't need it but I will have to get some and see how it works.
Bravo! Finally a truly helpful video delivered without any ego. Valuable stuff to know about men are loyal thank you
