Rust Prevention Opinions
Rust Prevention Opinions
I use CLP on all my firearms since they get used pretty regularly, but I am using Mineral oil on my knives because my EDC always sees food. I was wondering what others use for both lubrication and rust Prevention

I use Soy Lube SL-100.....non toxic, smells like citrus. I have a microfiber cloth that is slightly impregnated with it. I just wipe my blades off after use and all is well.

I dislike the smell of the product on the tuffcloth which stay on the blade. Anyone knows if this polimer like product is food safe?Lord vader wrote:I have heard a lot of good things about tuff cloth, I may have to give it a try, Thanks kbuzbee

Hi Nicolas, Sentry Solutions says: "None of Sentry Solutions products are FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved ... If you plan to cut food with a TUF-CLOTH treated blade, we suggest that you wipe or wash the blade first, then re-wipe when convenient.

I use camellia oil for my knives, smells good and is food safe.

Sentry Solutions also noted that getting FDA approval for a product like TufGlide is a *very* expensive process. Since their primary market isn't related to food preparation, they decided not to spend the cash to add "food safe" to their label.MarcusH wrote:Hi Nicolas, Sentry Solutions says: "None of Sentry Solutions products are FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved ...

Personally, I wouldn't take a swig of the stuff out of the bottle - but it doesn't appear to be toxic. I've used TufGlide-treated blades for years to cut up fruit, prepare dinner on campouts, etc. Once the product dries after application, it imparts no taste to food and the amount you might ingest is very very small.
It works great for corrosion prevention!

Don't know much about the approval process in the US, but I think that it might be impossible to get a FDA approval.phillipsted wrote:Sentry Solutions also noted that getting FDA approval for a product like TufGlide is a *very* expensive process.

TufGlide has ingredients like hexafluropropylene and perfluoroisobutylene:

TufGlide is great for corrosion prevention, but I personally would never use it for food prep.
