Much obliged ! I agree as I carefully clean bone and leather and metal with colorless almond oil or vaseline ( as I did with coins and medals) in order to loosen the dirt from the item and feed the bone and leather. It even protects the metal (iron, steel, copper or silver of a lower grade) by leaving a thin layer on the item to avoid corrosion.
I used it with good result on pinfire revolvers but do not know concerning knives and daggers if this is "allowed"or welcome. Thanks again !
