Just bought a new fleshing machine blade a month ago and it doesn't look any better than the one it replaced that had been on there for a year.
Does anyone have a "sure-fire" way to keep these from rusting? I have tried WD-40 & gun oil and it just keeps on rusting.

when your done using it,clean the blade then put oil on it,,wd40 dont work!
For your blade. But, if you're fleshing down salted hides, or hides coming out of a pickle, your blade will rust if not taken care of immediately. You'll always get some kind of rust on the blade. But if you clean it right after your done you can extend the life of the blade tremendously

......I always use Baking Soda and water before oiling the blades, this will neutrilize the acids from your pickle.
THEN I'll oil the blade.
This will greatly help rusting problems.
Have a good day,

PS...Coyote, have you done any Tiger Fishing this summer?
Me, too busy. Didn't get there once!
Gotta clean it but then try using G96 instead of wd-40. Works great.
