The common wisdom around here is mineral oil. But there are many other choices listed in a thread recently.

Go with mineral oil. It's cheap, readily available, and doesn't go rancid over time.

Check any pharmacy. It's commonly used as a laxative.

It's also good for maintaining wooden cutting boards.

All of the above mean it's non-toxic and you can put it on a knife that is used for food prep. It is baby oil without the scent.
