Hello everybody,
I am wondering how you all keep your M9's in mint condition. I am fairly new to collecting M9's (and knifes in general) so any suggestions would be kindly appreciated
I see many auctions on Ebay and many of the older models seem to have some light corrosion marks on the blade, cross guard and especially the Bianchi clip.
At the moment I keep my M9's stored out of direct sunlight in an airtight, low moisture military storage container, individually packaged in plastic airtight gripbags. May seem a little overkill, but I really want to keep my M9's in mint condition.
New M9's come covered in grease. I leave that on the blades. Is that a good idea?
How about second hand / used blades. Any suggestions how to keep them greased up? Should I simply use some gun oil or do you recommend something else?
And what about the cross guard and Bianchi clip, can I use oil on those parts as well?
Oh, and I almost forgot. I keep a piece of paper folded around the blade as I put it back in the scabbard to prevent scratching the blade. Does anybody else do this?
Thanks very much in advance for any tips and suggestions
Kind regards,
Menno
