Would someone be able to recommend something to coat knife handles with to waterproof them? I was thinking along the lines of some sorta oil, but all I've got just now is veg oil and maybe linseed :rolleyes:

What do y'all use?
 
Cheers mate, I'm hoping to have made at least 3-4 knives before Christmas, so I'll give both the Danish Oil and the stabilised wood a go :)
 
My woodlander came from Ben Orford with a coating of Liberon Finishing Oil.
I picked some up at the local DIY store.

Can be used on spoons etc too as it's safe for eating utensils too. Leaves them a bit shiney (which I quite like and it brings the grain up beautifully), but very well protected.
