Further, I didn't realize that I should be putting lemon oil on my bone scales for maintenance. Never had one dry out that I know of but would crap if it happened. Any recommendation on the stag handled knives? Thanks for great advice...I'll get to oiling up Thx, Brian

If you see many antique knives once in a while you will see on that is fuzzy looking and the oil will fix that. It usually happens when one is in a drawer for years and drys out. The oil from your hands will feed the bone if you use and handle it every day and it's not a problem. The oil won't hurt anything and probably help. _________________________ Tony Bose

Cut_Man Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/11/06 Posts: 170	Great Information Tony! I'm the first to admit that I didn't know bone scales, or stag for that matter, dried out. I have worked ivory with renwax, baby oil, etc...all with good results. This is good as I have several that needed a little oil...they got it yesterday Thx, Brian

John Your persperation or oil from your hands won't do anything on bone, stag, or ivory but make the color better. Any of these that you handle daily the oil from your skin keeps them from drying out. The ones that get dry are the ones put in a drawer and left there for years. _________________________ Tony Bose
