Those are food based oils that will eventually turn rancid in the handle and possibly smell quite bad.

DO NOT use olive oil, any vegetable oil, etc.. Use only Food Grade Mineral Oil.

It is non toxic which is a plus for food prep. It smells good and doesn’t go rancid.

We have used the same flatware that you have for over 40 years. We have it in both our RV, indoor kitchen and outdoor kitchen. Periodically, when necessary we will use steel wool on it to smooth it out, then Formsby’s oil treatment that I apply with a cloth. Hang the pieces by a string overnight, and it’s as beautiful as new and good for a few more years!

I want to reseal them. Need your advice as to what to use that is durable and long lasting. Laquer? varnish ? wipe-on poly?
thanks, Joyce
