Steel Blade
What can I use to remove oil from my Stainless Steel blade?
I’ve recently recieved a custom-made katana (Japanese Sword) from a very trusted company. Anyway, it’s blade is made of a stainless steel instead of high carbon steel, which most swords are.Their sword care guide said that most swords come with a coating of oil to protect it during transport. Mine didnt. And they also said it didnt need any oil covering, because of the type of blade. I was wondering if someone could elaborate on this? Also, there is a coat of sword-care powder that accidently got underneath a coat of Choji oil(special oil for swords) and now it has dried on there. On that same guide, though, it specifically states that when you recieve the sword with oil coating, you can remove it using lacquer thinner or mineral spirits. Would there be some sort of different solvent to use because of the type of blade? And where would be the best place to find mineral spirits, anyway? Thanks alot for anyone willing to help.

As far as the reason for not needing the oil on the stainless steel blade it;s because stainless steels contain chromium. This chromium in the alloy prevents oxidation from occurring, meaning it doesn’t rust. The reason for the oil used with the high carbon blades is to prevent oxygen from coming into contact with the blade which would cause it to oxidize. The stainless steel blade will not suffer any damage from using mineral spirits or lacquer thinner on it. They can be purchased at any hardware store, lacquer thinner can also be purchased at any auto parts store as well.
