I used to collect knives from the days when eBAY was selling them and over the years have added to them from antique shops etc. All of my knives are from Sheffield and there are 200 or 300. I would like to reduce the number a little and would like to sell some of them. This site does not seem to be my answer to do this and appears to be very complicated to use. Do you know any other sites that I could try please.
Thanks and glad to be here. After many years of buying and selling knives, Ive finally decided to learn something about them, and how to clean, protect and preserve them.
I was fascinated by a quite long and comtentious list of comments back from 2010 and 2011 on differing thought on cleaning blades, or not. It was interesting but left me with no clear answer.
I have tried to remove black crud from blades, especially when the maker's name is not readable, but I've always used non-abrasive materials. WD-40 and Nevr-dull are my main ones.
Do you have any opinion on approach to dirt and rust?
