List of Ingredients
I had an old butcher block that I stripped and used food grade mineral oil (no fragrance) to keep it in good shape. You don't want to use anything that will turn rancid. Like cooking oil.
There is also a oil that I found for wood handled knives, but I havent' been able to find it for quite some time.
Check out this site it tells you how to care for them.
