Very cool! I enjoy seeing how everyone in the community cleans their knives. I got most of my ways by watching Tom over at Knife Delights. He has some good skills over there too. Sweet looking knives brother. I use mineral oil, never dull and an old can of Alumin-Nu metal cleaner(i have two cans that came with the house when we bought it). Everything is done by hand. I do have a corded Dremel tool with all of the bits, but i haven't used it yet. Happy Belated Father's Day brother. You and your family have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend brother.

I’ve never had a scratched up blade from the fiber wheel. Even at high speeds. The bolsters are never scratched. Matter of fact it removes scratches from blades and bolsters. Just take a look at my videos. I use The fiber wheel every clean up. Great Video.

[@OzarksBoy-g8n]

@@theknifedoctor I’ve watched your videos brother, and enjoy them very much. I just have my way of cleaning up knives, and it’s been my experience that the fiber wheel will make the blades cloudy, so I will use different grades of sand paper to bring back a mirror polish. Thanks for watching, and have a blessed day.

[@theknifedoctor]

@@OzarksBoy-g8n yeah. The fiber wheel is not a polisher. It’s a great and fast way to remove surface rust. The buffing wheel like you used is the polisher. Totally understand. But I’ve never had a fiber wheel to scratch a blade or bolster up. Your way is great! Not knocking your way at all. I’m just defending the fiber wheel. 😊
