How does this compare to Gunny Lube or KPL?

'Non-toxic,' seems a bit expensive for vegetable oil. I suppose it could be pharmaceutical grade mineral oil, banana oil, etc., but don't feel like chasing down the ingredients.

I choose Kershaw knife oil over KPL because of the price and good reviews. I use it all the time with great result.

Used some 3-in-one last time I cleaned my Kershaw, a 10 year old 1660G10. Blade opens so smoothly now, you'd swear it's a switchblade.

Better options out there. You can get the Hoppe's No. 9 for less and it's a better product. Or you can just buy mineral oil, which is what a lot of knife oils are anyway. They're just labeled as "knife oil." The reason for this is to keep your knife from being toxic if you use it to cut food, since mineral oil is edible and is frequently used as a laxative.

Just be careful, Hoppe's No 9 is primarily designed for firearms, it is toxic. And not all mineral oils are edible, you should looking for refined mineral oil or food grade mineral oil.
I have different kind of mineral oils in my wood shop, all food graded, I primarily use them to protect my tools from rusting and to bring shine to my wood pieces, like cutting boards. However, I still use Kershaw knife oil for lubricating my knives, you just need 1-2 drop for each knife, a small bottle like this can last years. Mineral oil or vegetable oil is fine for knifes for work, but I would suggest knife oil for folders, especially for new owners.
The main concern here will be: Do you use your knife for food preparation?

The Hoppe's No. 9 is going to be superior to the Kershaw and costs less. I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess, the Kershaw is probably just mineral oil with a thinning agent, like a lot of the knife oils are. Even the Hoppe's is mineral oil based. Buying "food grade" should be a given if you're using it for food.

As far as saying that Hoppe's is toxic.Well sure, I probably wouldn't drink it.. Even the Kershaw oil comes with a warning not to consume it.

Dude, pure mineral oil is different from mineral oil based stuff, check out the extra ingredients of the product. Your knives and life cost much more than such saving, please use knife specific lubricants as the manufacturer suggested, they must be serious about "Non toxic" statement. Providing "non toxic" assumption to a product that has never been advertised with, is extremely dangerous and unnecessary.

No offense, hope we can share and discuss more good ideas like this.

Lots of people use straight food grade mineral oil for knife lubrication. If you want to use Kershaw knife oil, there's nothing wrong with it. You're just overpaying for a brand name,

Brings new meaning to being 'run through by a knife'.
