I've always read that the reason linseed oil is used for hilt parts is because it's a "drying" oil (forms polymers and hardens when exposed to air) so the hilt won't feel oily. Though as a disclaimer, I don't have enough experience to say whether this really makes a big difference.

Far beyond the rising sun
I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.

Well, I'm tough, rough, ready and I'm able
To pick myself up from under this table...
