Rust is not toxic.

The benefit of stainless steel is not for the today's food that you cut, but to have your knife last longer.

All is relative.
Most (regular) people will use any oil available. It is very unlikely the tiny drop you put on the pivot will end up in your food and it is also unlikely that that minute amount that ends up in your food will have any noticeable effect to your health, especially considering the amount of chemicals/germs we eat/smoke/drink/touch daily.

You have people that insist on using non SS knives to cut food (rust..) and worry about whether a mole of an oil will get on their food and kill them.  :o
Quite right IMO.  Unless you are planning on drinking spoonfuls of the stuff I really don't see what the problem is.

WD40 is not good for lubrication, it's main purpose is to displace water and help unlock rusted parts which then are expected to be lubed with a proper oil.

Also WD40 stinks quite bad and is not food safe.

I only used WD40 once I think on some bad old SAK that had its blades stuck with solidified gunk and rust, to help release that, then I washed and cleaned it thoroughly and oiled with Vic oil as usual.

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know of some downsides to WD 40?

WD40 doesn't clean (no detergent) and it attracts dust.

It doesn't lubricate well either.  It does do a good job of displacing water...

If you lick the battery it gives you a really funny feeling? :whistle:

Vic oil, Frog Lube, Mil Tech. Benchmades Blue Lube on occasion.

I don't feel WD40 is a good oil to use. WD stands for water displacing. It isn't intended to a long term solution. But to each his own. I've heard some pick up sewing machine oil.

Just about any good name oil will work. Rem Oil, etc., as noted, many use mineral oil so it'll be food safe, but I don't use mine on food.

Inox is good stuff and also food safe. I've used it for quite awhile.

Nano oil seems popular as well.
