I use white lithium grease because I get a discount at work and because it stays on for a while. What do you guys like to use?

My beaters get 30 weight liberally applied. The purdy stuff gets Rem oil or similar. I don't store the blades in sheaths.

Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors, and miss.

yeah I dont have leather sheaths for my good knives yet. I wornder how oil and stuff like that would affect the leather? Paste wax sounds like a good solution but It doesn't seem to really leave a coat. Is there something special I have to do with it?

... or long period storage i sweep the knife clean with a special microfiber cloth for taking moisture away and i apply a decent film of gun maintaining oil ( the one we use in periodic weapon maintenance ) and then wrap the blade with waxpaper , seal it with a tape and put in the box separated from the sheath, no matter what material the sheath is made of ...
... for the sheaths now , clean them well with a clean wet cloth, let them dry naturally and then ...
... for leather : wax the out side and put some babypowder or footpowder inside , wrap it up in a clean cotton cloth and store it in dry environment together with the knife in a dark place ...
... for synthetic : if the sheath has soft elastic and/or soft plastic components, just put some babypowder or footpowder on, wrap these components with soft packaging paper and tape them ( to prevent osmosis of the material due to moisture ) and put it away from the sun .
... if you plan storing the knife for very long period , simply repeat the above procedure every 6 months , if you can't do so then instead of gun-oil put a film of petroilbased-grease on the blade , wrap it up with waxpaper ( blade alone, handle alone and then all the knife together ) and let it rest ...
... of course depending to the handle's material, for long term storage, you have to act accordingly ...
... that's all ... other opinions are wellcome

... a small plastic bottle with gunoil and a piece of cotton cloth ... that's what you need for general "care" of your knife everywhere , ... you finish your job, you thoroughly clean your knife, you give it its sharp edge back and then, you sweep it clean and if it isn't ment do be used soon enough, you rub a thin film of gunoil with some clean cotton cloth on the blade ... knife is ready for the next task
