I too am a firm believer in the many good qualities of Ballistol. After all, the entire German Army in both WWI and WWII plus today's Bundeswehr can't ALL be wrong (can they).
I hunted for over 7 years in Germany and Luxembourg and saw a lot of Ballistol in use. It is good for leather, wood, metal just about anything you can wipe. Most of the guys I hunted with had wartime experience with it. It was (is) even meant to be used as an emergency antiseptic in the field. I have sprayed many a dog's barbed wire cuts with it and never had an infection. I have sprayed myself with the same effect (you are on your own here-disclaimer).
Rem Oil, Sheath, Break Free, there is nothing out there that won't do what you want. Use your Parkers often and wipe them down when necessary. Most likely every one of them will last longer than the youngest of us.
That's my $00.02 worth. Just care for them with what you have.
