Mike,

Thank you... I am not much of an outdoorsmen but I do have a great appreciation of quality knifes.

All my purchases will be Safe Queens... How do other than Stainless Knifes hold up over long periods of time?

Is it true you should put a light coating of gun oil on them prior to storage?

I usually use Rusty's Rags -http://www.shop.rustysrags.com/Rustys-Ultimate-Knife-Care-Kit-Only-1995-KNF3670.htm
