So....I bought a few hundred knives/tools off a former security guard that had been "collecting" them FOR YEARS...
Many are in great shape, but most have the usual dirt and pocket lint, and what not...
SO....I've been cleaning them in an Ultrasonic Cleaner with some Simple Green, rinsing them in warm water, shaking them dry, and then blasting them with an air compressor before adding some Hoppe's No. 9 Lubricating oil to the joints.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a better way to do it...?
Any recommendations for a protectant...?
One guy told me that he soaks knives in some ATF before wiping them down and blasting them with some air.
Another guy told me that I should be using Ballistol, but it seems quite expensive.
Any recommendations are appreciated!
Thanks everybody!
