I’m on a wood carving forum and they use Howard’s Feed and Wax on a lot of carvings. They all swear by it.

Thanks for the tip Scott. ::handshake::
I've got an old Case Whaler and a Case rope knife that needs attention.
They're looking pretty tired.

Looking at the active ingredients in the product (paraffins and waxes)
it should work really well.
