Any vegetable oil can go rancid if it's a kitchen knife, mineral oil won't and works well. For a hunting knife I prefer Rem Oil myself.
He who walks through paradise unarmed, had best be sure that's where he's at.

I only build, buy and use damascus, Never stainless steel. I hand wash and dry when used. Then about once a year I clean them up with various products.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
