Protecting Knives for Storage?

[Zbone]

Any butchers out there that can advise of a good "editable" coating to protect knives in storage. I understand butchers constantly work their knives and don't store them but thought they might be able to give some good advise.

I know good petroleum oil with Teflon like a Rem-Oil or something would be the ticket, but I'm looking for something editable that I don't worry about removing all the petroleum the next time I use them.

Bought a butcher set this year, and right now lightly coated them with Wesson, vegetable oil in storage, but don't know if that is good, but figured better than nothing???

Thanx for any help,
Gary

That is exactly what I do for the high carbon knives I made for my wife. Then roll them up in a cloth. Not a butcher though.
