CKTG Handle and Board Wax

This product came out of practical necessity. At CKTG, wooden handles and sayas pass through the shop constantly, and keeping unfinished wood in good condition requires something that actually works - not a generic board oil. The Handle and Board Wax is a blend of food-grade mineral oil and double-refined beeswax that CKTG formulated and uses in-house daily. It is the same product used to finish sayas before they ship and to condition the wa handles on knives throughout the office. When something works well enough to use on your own product, it is worth selling.

Mineral oil penetrates the wood to hydrate and stabilize it from the inside, while beeswax seals the surface and creates a protective barrier against moisture and staining. Together they bring out the grain, deepen the color, and leave wood looking nourished rather than coated. It works on knife handles, cutting boards, sayas, salad bowls, rolling pins, and wooden utensils - any unfinished wood that benefits from conditioning. Application is straightforward: rub a small amount onto the wood, work it in, and wipe off the excess with a clean cloth. A little goes a long way, and the 4-ounce container treats a large number of surfaces. Two coats with a day between them is the recommended approach for new or very dry wood.

What Customers Are Saying: A knife maker who uses it professionally confirms no reactivity on carbon steel blades during handle installs and describes the scent as similar to honey butter. Multiple reviewers apply it with their bare hands rather than a cloth, finding the warmth helps work it into the grain more evenly. One reviewer softens the wax slightly in the microwave before application, which makes spreading easier - a tip several others have echoed. The range of surfaces people use it on keeps expanding in the reviews: wa handles, sayas, cutting boards, straight razor handles, wooden spoons, work cart tops, and unfinished handle blanks. A dry-climate reviewer credits the wax with preventing cutting boards and sayas from cracking during harsh winter conditions. Repeat purchases are common - the 4-ounce container lasts a long time, but customers come back because it works.

Application Instructions: Start with clean, dry wood. Scoop a small amount - a pea-sized amount covers most handles - and work it into the wood with a cloth or your fingertips. Let it sit for several minutes, then wipe off any excess with a clean rag. For cutting boards or very dry wood, apply a second coat after 24 hours. Reapply to handles and boards periodically as needed, particularly in dry climates or after heavy use.
