As far as the reason for not needing the oil on the stainless steel blade it;s because stainless steels contain chromium. This chromium in the alloy prevents oxidation from occurring, meaning it doesn't rust. The reason for the oil used with the high carbon blades is to prevent oxygen from coming into contact with the blade which would cause it to oxidize. The stainless steel blade will not suffer any damage from using mineral spirits or lacquer thinner on it. They can be purchased at any hardware store, lacquer thinner can also be purchased at any auto parts store as well.

well here's the thing r u gonna use this sword for anything or is it just another thing to collect dust? if you want to keep it shiny then get a jewelry cloth and whip it down every other day or so. but you can get mineral spirits anywhere they sell paint or at walmart.they best thing to do is get a stainless steal cleaner it gets it clean and keeps it from collecting dust. other than that ask someone that specializes in stainless steal

Use mineral spirits to remove substances from the blade then wash in mile solution of soap and water to remove residue of mineral spirits. Good stainless steel requires no lubrication. It does not rust.
