I'll fifth that motion. Thanks to Russ I know fully understand the way to apply Tung Oil, my prefered method of finish, I will be trying others later as I learn more. But I do know that Tung Oil will last a very long time. I have knifes that were done in Tung Oil and they still look fantastic after over 17 years of all be it light use. Those knives are just to nice to treat like cr*p. The whole secret was using Tung Oil like a friction polish, who'd have known. I didn't. LOL[:I]
