Choji Oil - 03/15/2008 06:50 AM
Anyone have used the Choji Oil (mineral oil with 1% of clove oil) for the 3rd Reich blades?
It's been used for centuries for preservation of Nihonto (Real Japanese blades) with great results.
Most of those centuries old katanas looks like they were made yesterday (with exception of Chinese fakes really made yesterday and looking ugly).
Have recently purchased a bottle of this oil and used it on some of my daggers - so far the result is stunning!
BTW - the Choji Oil is used also on bonsai pottery without any harm to those cute little trees.
