What oil for cleaning a Hunting Knife?

you don't clean with oil either way, just use dish soap.
Stainless isn't actually immune to rusting, so if you want to put some oil on it you can. but you should be fine.

Could always try and force a patina on it. There are several JewTube videos on the topic. I put a patina on my Opinel No.6 knife because it's a high carbon folder and I understandably didn't want the blade coated in oil. It hasn't rusted on me in the 3 years I've used it, despite neglect.

Not sure if patinas work with stainless though. I'd think "stainless" means it's harder to stain, which is essentially what a patina is.

I prefer good carbon steel over the stainless ones. Cheap, tough, easy to sharpen, takes a good edge.

Thanks user, I didn't know.

I'll keep my eyes out for some flaxseed/linseed oil for the wood, I appreciate it.

I'll probably end up buying canola oil for the blade unless my mechanic finally gets to fixing my car.

I'll keep my eyes out for some mineral oil when my car is fixed.

Thanks Jow Forums !
