hi, newbie here

Is sunflower oil any good? thats all i have in the kitchen at the mo. I also have some cycle oil.

Nope. If you use the shinai long enough the oil in the shinai will go mouldy, ruining your shinai.

Linseed oil is supposed to be ok, I used for a while, but for the past 18 months I've not oiled my shinai at all, and they haven't lasted any longer or shorter than previously. That having been said some people also swear by it.
