I've been using CUTCO polishing cloths to finish the sheen in my rust-removed knives.

I'm contimplating MIRACLE CLOTH but the Coconut Oil is causing me to ask.....

I assume a Camillus or CASE or CUTCO polishing cloth are the same items? There's a 3 pack of Camillus polishing cloth for $9.99 on the bay.....

Your input would be appreciated!

This may sound a bit over-simplistic, but after a buffing, polishing by hand with Flitz or just wiping off Ren Wax, I've been using old Tee-shirts for several years now. As long as the wife keeps throwing them in the washing machine once in a while, they keep working great.

You beat me to it Bob. That's the same thing I was going to say. I used Flitz and an old t-shirt for the longest time but now I'm hooked on Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish and an old t-shirt.

I once saw a shirt that read:
DAVID LEE ROTH IS VAN HALEN.

How true it is!!

+1 on the t-shirts. I don't use Van Halen shirts because they're usually black. I like the Hanes standard white t-shirt because I enjoy seeing all the gunk that I polish off my knife.

I use the Cape Cods on metal such as bolsters and blades, use Renwax on handles such as stag or bone then polish with old shirt.
