Dan, the cold heading industry (screw, bolt and cold formed parts makers),
use molydisulfide as a lubricant on the wire which they head. Lubricant
supply companies
(supplying cutting oils, etc) would be a good bet.

Something that is common here in southern Sweden is to use "sillake", the
liquid that pickled herring is kept in. I'm not exactly sure about the
ingredients, but it's water, salt and fat from the herrings. Probably a
lot of other strange stuff. I've never used it myself, but I've seen it
used: the tool is just dipped in the container attached to the stub that the
anvil is standing on, and then used for the cutting/punching/whatever.

Seems to work ok.
