yeah... why would you put it in a safe. unless "safe" is a euphemism for your pocket

till ill buy a good sharp kit i can't use it... after a half a year without any sharpens and she was my edc so much time... i need to re sharp it.
so meanwhile she is in the safe...

For storage, there is nothing wrong with applying some protectant to the knife. I like the Tuf Glide cloth. Just wipe it on.

You just don't want to get lube in the bearings-it attracts grit. Also, don't lube the tang of the knife, as it can make the lock sticky.

But I have to ask why you would put a user in the safe just because it is dull. Sharpen it up woth a Spyderco Sharpmaker and get back to cutting!

ill order one asap

Make yourself a strop. Leather belt chunk glued or screwed down to a paint stick, put some Fitz metal polish on there and have at it.
