mineral oil (baby oil), with a dollup of vaseline dissolved in it, dash of clove oil for aroma. mineral oil is food safe, most clps and wd40 are not and can be poisonous, and it does not dry like wd40 or olive oil. (i use olive oil on my wood grips, wood axe handles, wood spear shafts, etc. tho).
also like ballistol but it's difficult to get in the UK..
microcrystalline waxes like renaissance wax are also good.
