Abstract: An arrangement for holding an oil supply in a sharp-edged tool such as scissors, saws, etc. including a recess provided in the sharp-edged tool and an oil supply comprising an oil absorber and a holder. The oil supply is set in the recess so that it can be removed therefrom. The holder retains the oil absorber therein such that a part of the oil absorber sticks out of the holder. The oil absorber is made from materials which absorb oil. In use, the oil supply is taken out of the recess, and the oil in the oil absorber is applied to the sharp-edged tool when the oil absorber is rubbed along the edge of the blade of the tool.
