    This was a great video for those who like this look. I prefer natural patina route but this is a great way to speed up the process.
    As always Doc, keep sharing what you know. The knife community deserves this info, for those that aren't aware. ✌️

    Boiled linseed oil works really well also, use mineral oil if it needs to be food safe

    Love the old custom Emerson micarta after use/carry. I don't oil my micarta scales, usually. Only times I have is after washing filthy micarta scales with Dawn dish washing detergent. The micarta looked chalky, clean, and dry. I put some mineral oil on, wiped off excess with a microfiber cloth and was in business again.

    Very true about natural materials. I use a lot. Antler and bone, (essentially the same thing), are very brittle. Wood is better, I like to lacquer it with clear lacquer. Protects and brings out the grain and color of the wood

    A friend asked me about caring for a micarta handle. I sent him this awhile back. Now, whenever I go there, he's always fingering one of his knives.

    Have you noticed any oil seeping behind screws and loosening them? I've used obenauf's to seal micarta but not oil. Same effect you're showing here.

      @DocP91B very cool to know. I think the oil might suit the job better than the wax. The wax can turn foggy if you apply too much.

    What about boiled linseed oil? It oxidizes and solidifies so the effect might be more permanent.

      I'm not him, but I prefer Ballistol Universal Oil. Great for lubing, cleaning, protecting and treating many materials. It's a mineral oil with many properties and I just can't get enough of it. Also great for other stuff around the house, wood, leather, metals and what have you.

    Do you think that it would have a significant effect on black Canvas Micarta? And is it okay if i use a seed oil? I am asking because the knife should still be food safe after this.

      @Jacek Siemieniuk just showing all the options. Like I said, I don't judge. Some people like the the short term effect where light oils absorb out quicker and you can go back to the natural look or try something else. I support everyone doing what they like best. I'm not here to tell people what to do, just how to do some stuff.
