Oiling hilt parts

[A_Volpe]

Boiled linseed oil should be fine. Chances are you'll barely need to re-oil after the initial treatment, once a year if that. I tend to just keep an eye on the condition of the wood, if it somehow appears too "dry" I'll rub a very small amount of oil into the wood (it spreads very well, so use sparingly), let it set in overnight, wipe any excess/residue the next day, and call it done.
