It is Minwax Antique Oil finish. Comes in a pint red can. I got turned on to it by the guy that built my rifle. I don't like it for gun stocks, because it is fast setting, and I don't have the patience to work with it, but I love it for smaller things like grips. You wipe it on, I use my finger, and I lightly spread and work it. In a just few minutes you feel it start to thicken. Then using a paper towel, I immediately wipe it off. One coat per day. 3 to 4 coats done that way finishes it. That knife got 4 coats. It is pretty thin stuff and soaks in good. As durable as any similar linseed based finish, but less hassle, and almost fool proof for smaller items.
