Honing Oil?
For sharping knives, what type of oil is it? I am looking to sharpen some knives, and local wal mart does not carry the oil, is there a substitute I can use?

Have not heard the term in years.
It is a very fine oil that you could buy in hardware stores when people actually used honing stones.
If you really want it ,it is available online at specialty woodworking sites.
Mineral spirits w/ a few drops of mineral oil is close.
I just use kerosene.

I mix Mineral Oil and Kerosene - 50-50 mix

I don't worry about the scent and just use baby oil on my oil stone; BUT, for general sharpening, I use a whetstone and water.
