Im up north hunting, killed a deer and forgot my dam knife oil. I have my knife all cleaned up but no oil, can I use olive oil? IIRC I heard that oilve oil is good stuff to use on high carbon steel.
Yes or no?
Sure, but it might attract insects unless it's cold outside. Another good oil for knives that might contact food items (like venison) is mineral oil. Right on the bottles they tell you how many tablespoons full to consume for various medical purposes, so it's by no means toxic in small amounts.
