Something to Clean Gunky Knife Handles

Post by orvet »

I bought some Formby's Lemon Oil, on the recommendation of some forum members, to put on some stag handles. It worked very well. :D

I saw another Formby's product in the store, called Build-Up Remover. I thought it might be good to clean knife handles, at least the wood ones.
SO.....I bought it. It is outstanding on wood handles! ::tu::
Then I decided I would try it on Delrin. I cleaned a Schrade 120, with white Delrin & a Camillus TL-29 black Delrin handle with the Build-Up Remover. It worked very nicely and did not soften the Delrin or cause any damage to it. At last, something to clean Delrin with! ::ds::

I just thought I would share that with all of you.
