Removing LPS-3 from cutlery
Several years ago I stored non-stainless steel hunting knives using LPS-3 as their preservative. I want to use them, but I do not know how to get the LPS-3 off. The manufacture said: Use a solvent. This is not helpful for several reasons.
1. What solvent will remove LPS-3 without harming Kraton grips?
2. LPS-3 is toxic when ingested. Will solvent residue be toxic, too?
3. When LPS-3 is removed and solvent residue is also removed, what can I put on the knife blades that will provide some corrosion resistance while being non-toxic?

Had the same problem with the LPS-3 with the metal fittings on my boat, it is tuff to get off. Assuming you can get it off try coating the metal with animal fat of vegetable lard. Maybe the lard will help you remove the LPS-3? I ended up using diesel fuel but that may not be good on your plastic handles. Good luck

An engine degreasing solvent such as Napa or ZEP will take it off, and or a brake wash solvent, then use a plastic beaded soap and hot water. It should clean up great. 0
