What is that container? I'm not familiar with it.

On a final note from me, I'm going to venture that the fellas that had trouble with the Q.R. oil pen cracking, were squeezing the pen to dispense the oil, when I believe it was designed as a "gravity" pen, where you simply hold the pen with the tip down and gravity pulls the oil out one drop at-a-time. I will give the bottom of the pen a couple of light taps as I'm holding it tip down, and just as described, the oil will drip out a drop at-a-time. I emailed the company to find out if indeed this is the case, and if they get back to me I'll come back and confirm or dissolve this theory. I think edge's suggestion for a dispenser is also an excellent idea, and, I have an all-metal oil pen that also works very well. It would seem that I have waaaaay too much time on my hands!

Madmarco,
Thanks for this great bit of advice concerning the QR oil pen. A gravity pen rather than a squeeze applicator. It works, makes me feel like a bull in a china shop.

Well, Walt from Latama did get back to me today, and although he didn't confirm or deny the pens were designed as gravity pens, he did say, "Unfortunately the pens weren't designed to last forever, but if you would provide me with the names and email addresses for the fellas who had problems with them, I will send them a replacement pen". He went on to say that the company is currently working on a sturdier pen applicator that he claims will last much longer. So, if jerryd, Treefarmer, Colenel26, and Stanwade want to send me their info via PM, I will forward it to Walt and you'll receive a new pen, perhaps the new upgraded model! I will wait until 2:00 P.M. Central time this Wednesday for your responses, and will submit the info after that. I would assume he needs your first initial, full last name, and your email addresses so he can either communicate with you, or so he knows where to send them. Up-to-you, but a freebie's a freebie!

I think you are correct. If I remember correctly that's where I got my first tube (the one that cracked).

Madmarco, thank you for setting me straight on the proper usage of the tubes. I wish I knew then what I know now.
My pleasure jerry, but, as I stated, the rep wouldn't confirm that is the correct way to use the pen, it was only after I had it drip all over my leg by continuing to hold it pointing down after I had applied a couple drops to a pivot, that I just kindda figured that is how they work. And ain't that the truth, why couldn't we know what we know now when we were 18, this world would have been a much better place!
Madmarco, you're going to have a PM here in a minute.

I've been giving them knives for several years, birthdays and Christmas and any other occasion I can. This said they need to learn how to take care of their "users". I want to build a "kit" of knife care items for each of them so they can learn. I've obtained several NOS Old Cutler Muskrat knives that won't cut hot butter and will provide a fresh place to start to learn knife sharpening without destroying a more valuable knife. I thought I would polish one bolster with some Mother's Mag to show the difference it can make, include the Mothers in the kit, maybe a tube of Quick Release, some sort of sharpening system, maybe a whet rock with some instructions, etc. Box it up in some nice durable, reusable container and present one to each of them.
All that said, I'm open to suggestions on what to include in a knife care kit such as I describer.
Thanks for any input.
