	If they're meant to be used, I might suggest gun blue them first, if 
the metal is white, and give a light coat of oil cold.  I'm not sure, 
but I don't think the cooking oil will polymerize the way linseed oil 
does.  In any event, the oil will have to be replaced after every use, 
so cold would seem to be the ticket.
