// The blend

Two ingredients. That is the whole list.

Mineral oil soaks in and conditions. White beeswax seals it up and shines. The recipe goes back to 1961, when Pop, itisntdan's father, perfected the blend as a woodworker and tool collector. The tub of wax never left the family garage, and now itisntdan pours it for USA Made Blade. Not some mass-produced, off-the-shelf wax. That is the entire trick, and it works.

  • Protector of steel

    Rust is the enemy. A thin coat repels the moisture that causes it, on high carbon and stainless alike.

  • Cutting board crusader

    Food safe by nature. Brings dry boards and butcher blocks back from the dead.

  • Micarta's best friend

    Wakes up tired micarta, wood scales and leather with one buff.

// Small batches, big feet

A friendship project between itisntdan and USA Made Blade.

Hand poured by itisntdan and Scott with the next generation pitching in. Scott's daughter drew the original logo, and the younger crew pours, packs and ships. Family recipe, family operation.

// How to use it

Thirty seconds, tops.
  1. 01

    Scoop a little

    A fingertip of wax goes a long way. Seriously, less than you think.

  2. 02

    Rub it in

    Work it into the wood, steel or scales with a cloth or bare hands. Let it sit a few minutes.

  3. 03

    Buff it off

    Wipe away the extra and buff to a low glow. Done. Go find something else to wax.

// Wax questions, answered

What is Sasquatch Wax made of?

Two ingredients: mineral oil and white beeswax. Pop, itisntdan's father, perfected the blend in 1961, and itisntdan hand pours it in small batches in the USA today. No fragrances, no solvents, no mystery chemicals.

Who makes Sasquatch Wax?

Sasquatch Wax is a passion project from itisntdan and Scott of USA Made Blade, born from a friendship in the knife community. It is crafted by knifers for knifers, hand poured in the USA, and made exclusively for USA Made Blade.

Is it food safe?

Yes. Mineral oil and beeswax are both food safe, which is why the blend is right at home on cutting boards, butcher blocks and kitchen knives.

What can I use it on?

Wood, steel, micarta and leather. Cutting boards, knife blades and pivots, tool heads, axe handles, wood furniture and most things that live a hard life. If it can dry out or rust, the wax can help.

Where can I buy it?

Only at USA Made Blade, usamadeblade.com. It is not sold anywhere else, on purpose. Search for Sasquatch Wax and grab a tin before the squatch does.
