Yep, I get the same feeling Sajen.
Yeah Groza, Ballistol doesn't smell all that bad, in fact it is a reasonably pleasant smell. I don't like to use this type of oil on fine woodwork, nor on leather, as for medicinal qualities that's new to me. Interesting.
However, all these chemical smells can disturb a keris, so when we use them, we like to also give a little "gift" to the keris of a traditional oil, something like cendana (sandalwood), or melati (white rose). We of the Keris World like to keep our krisses happy.
Bit primitive maybe, but we're all primitives if you look hard enough.
