I Reshaped the handle of my knife. Should I oil it?

I liked how it originally looked, but it was too big for my hand and didn't feel good to hold. Since I didn't have any other carving knife, I used a kitchen knife. Now it's very comfortable for me. Should I oil it? If so, what oil should I use?

Seeking experiences with Zen teachers (Roshi) and monasteries/temples in Japan

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for a Zen teacher (Roshi) and a monastery in Japan where I can deepen my practice under proper guidance. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has encountered a teacher whose presence, character, and way of teaching reflected a deep commitment to Zen practice.

If you have had meaningful experiences with a Roshi or a Zen community, I would really appreciate hearing your stories and any recommendations you may have.

Thank you.
