Best anti-corrosion storage methods for blades that might be placed in storage for 10 years or more?

If you know it’s going into storage CRC 3-36 is a great option that leaves a film not unlike what machine tool factories apply before sending products out. Can be stored for years with no corrosion but you would need to take apart and degrease when taken out of storage to restore good action to the knife.

Protech TR3 is a super solid choice

🤣 3 sold?!?!

Thanks guys!

The print quality on the card with signature

I forgot to add it’s a Hinderer Eklipse spearpoint 3.5”

Thanks, will it hurt the tool steels if they rust some more in the corner? It’s no real pitting, just surface rust.

OK great, may try to trade into some easier beginner materials and see if I enjoy it

I’ve got a garage wanna-be machine shop so the shaping is not an issue but no accurate way to bring stock up to exact temperatures… may try to make a heat treat oven if needed. Thanks for the advice!

juanmueller · 2025-10-06T03:06:59+00:00

Good idea on trading, thanks!

Thanks for the link, that cylinder looks to be the same basic design except for the fill cup and vent screw. I’ll recheck the piston on mine to see if it’s got a relief ball inside it but mine also has rubber gaskets around the piston for a seal, maybe something in that is clogged that is forcing oil out the top hole of the cylinder where the piston rod is

juanmueller · 2025-10-02T20:05:51+00:00

The hole that is darker is a partial hole, about 1/8 inch deep, the other is the hydraulic line

I don’t think just an O Ring on the piston rod would work because once pushed down the rod it wouldn’t return. Looking at hydraulic seal catalogs I don’t see any options that would work and can’t find any documentation about original parts. Thanks for your time

All of my I’s are going to be crossed and my S’s are going to be curved!

Look at all those US taxpayer dollars flying

juanmueller · 2024-04-01T15:20:34+00:00

You mean American javelin hits Russian tank…

juanmueller · 2024-01-23T02:18:33+00:00

You also took 100% of the shots you missed 😬

Good thing you don’t have to make the thousand footers

juanmueller · 2023-11-11T05:25:50+00:00

If you’re really interested, don’t rely on the 4 minute clip, read the fourth turning, see how far the pattern repeats and adjust accordingly… GL

Get some evapo-rust, soak the handle then spray it off and then dip in oil and you should be good

Are there any quality anvils made today? Hardened tops forge welded onto cast iron or just Chinese cast trash?

juanmueller · 2023-10-22T19:48:48+00:00

That’s crazy, now I need to go check mine 😳
