The Ballistol oil is really fantastic. The savior in all situations. Be it for the cleaning and care of for knives made of carbon steel, razors, or oils of hinges, etc ... Ballistol does not attack the plastic, wood or leather. On the contrary, these parts are still maintained. It has a pleasant smell and is not hazardous to health, which I think is very important as a knife before coming into contact with a food :) A must have in every household!
