Knife Handle Finish
« on: August 20, 2012, 12:14:28 pm »
I have started making a few steel knives.

What would you guys recommend that I finish an Osage Handled Kitchen Knife with?

Thanks

The knives I use in the kitchen I rub in olive oil.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks for the replies.
I was thinking of using Mineral Oil.
Never thought of Olive Oil.
May have to raid the Wife's Stash. ;D

On my food prep knives I use walnut oil, some say it will spoil along with olive oil, but I've never had a problem.
