I heard, from my Sensei, that Singer Sewing-Machine Oil is just as good as the the traditional Japanese oils for an Iaito, whether aluminium-zinc alloy or steel.
So happy I found your channel. The nearest dojo to me is 6hrs away in northern Texas, so I am finding your content very helpful and engaging. Happy New Year!
I'm also happy that you found us as well! We have more if you are interested at our patreon page. Or just keep enjoying our RU-vid channel. Thanks do much homebee1 for reaching out. I wish you a happy new year as well!
Im honestly surprised mineral oil isn't recommended, I've used it on at least 20 different steel types with no ill results, doesn't really have a smell, doesn't dry out or rot, and if need be can be used as a laxative lol.
We actually drop the Mune onto the web of the hand , there is no contact with the actual saya on the outside. Many styles do this or a slight variation
