@@swifty716 Absolutely! Put some polish on a microfiber and pull the chain through. You'll be amazed at how much tarnish comes off. A few more pulls and it'll look brand new!!
I have not done any polishing yet but I have used an erasure block to remove rust and tarnish. I understand Simichrome is also a chemical based polishing compound that, supposedly, works as well.
Thanks! Yeah that might work good. This is such a small amount which works well. Probably similar to mothers. Their website has so many products I still have to check out. Take care!

I love Flitz polish it works great now the bad part is we don't know if it's toxic or not leaving a residual on your camp/food prep or even skinning knife could make you very sick.
Hi David! Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Flitz polish is non-toxic. In fact, it says so on our containers. It does leave behind a thin film of Carnauba wax for protection. Now, typically, Carnauba is edible, but when using it on items like plates and utensils, a wash and rinse like you do for anything touches food is just good hygiene. Holler with questions!! 😀
I just use balistol or hopps gun oil. rem oil sometimes. basically whatever oil I have around. it doesn't remove much but the blades never corrode. Batistol actually does remove a little but the others don't.
Thanks Zach. That Flitz, is good stuff. I have a few bench-grinders in the shop, and one of them has two buffing wheels on it. So for polishing, I use them. But, as mrblauer has also mentioned, in the comments section here. I too, often use a "erasure block". My latest choice, is the 'Sandflex Sanding Block'. Which can be found on Amazon, and elsewhere, for $10 for a 3-pack. Which includes a Fine, Medium, and a Course (Fine = 240 Grit; Medium = 120 Grit; Coarse = 60 Grit). For those who may not know? It's a large-ish rubber eraser (0.75" x 2.0" x 3.25") with Silicone Carbide Grit, mixed inside of it. It really is a 'must have', for people wanting to keep their satin finish knives, looking their best. I've been using them, for a very long time now. I'm pretty sure, that the Garryson Garryflex Abrasive Block Company, was the first to make this type of product. And I would say too, that this Brand, does work better than the 'Sandflex' Brand, but only slightly so. Plus, the Sandflex Brand is much easier to get, and is priced a little better. It's made in Germany, but is well stocked here in the U.S.A., by Klingspor Abrasivies. The Garryson Garryflex Abrasive Block, is almost exclusively stocked in the U.K., and has to be Imported (long wait times). I have all of the grit options here, but 90% of the time. I am using the Coarse Grit.
Thanks! They say you can lightly use it on DLC but I have not tried it. It does contain abrasives and I know more pressure on DLC can create scratches. I will have to check in with my local rep tomorrow to get a more definitive answer.
How well does flitz work on blades with etchings? I have a vintage straight razor with really cool etchings im trying to restore but it is dark, and id like to clean it up. But im worroied something abrasive will take the etchings off.
That is a good question and you wouldn’t want to chance it with any product. Give their customer service a call as they will guide you to the best product. I know they just came out with a newer one that even works on coated or blued products.
Great job Zach! Thanks for showing off Flitz to your channel! We really appreciate it! Stay safe!
Thanks! Will do!
Can I use this on 14kt gold chain

@@flitz thanks I just bought the polish and wanted to be sure. I saw on the back it said solid gold. Can I use to clean silver as well
is the tang sealed with a clear? I am afraid of the tang rusting under the rubber scales like my cold steel ultimate hunter mini does

Groovy! I will have to try them out. Thanks
Great meeting you at the Benchmade Factory Store, Zach. Stoked on my new Puukko and appreciate the cleaning/care tips.
It was very nice to meet you too! You will love the Puukko and thanks for showing me your cool mini freek!
Great results! I normally use mother's mag. Flitz is likely more ideal, but mother's is affordable and widely available locally.

@@flitz thanks for the insight. Does Flitz work well with some light surface rust on knives?
@@collander7766 Absolutely! You'll be pleasantly surprised how well it does!!
Must get the flitz...nice tip!
Stay tuned have a discount code coming today!
Does this stuff work safely on dlc coated blades?
No it is not recommended for coated blades.
Will this take off the etching too?
Flitz is an abrasive so it may take off finishes.
I just use balistol or hopps gun oil. rem oil sometimes. basically whatever oil I have around. it doesn't remove much but the blades never corrode. Batistol actually does remove a little but the others don't.
I wonder how the grips would dye...... hmmm
Oh yeah that would be fun! How well the color stays would be interesting too.
Thanks Zach.

Sounds like some great products here! I really appreciate your recommendations and I will have to order some to check out. Have a good evening!
We're glad you enjoy our Flitz products! Keep on Flitzin'!
I use my forehead's grease. You cant find any better in the field.
Ear wax works well too!
Looks great! Do you think that it will work on a blade with a DLC coating?

Out of context but your voice is so attractive

@@zachstuff does it prevent rust, so after a put flitz on my blade, its not necessary to Oil the blade ?
The look on my face when he shoved the tip of his finger on the tip of the blade 😬.
Use a piece of tinfoil with it,it will take off all the markings
Groovy! 🤙🏼
Flitz
All get out .😂😂😂
