The tips are perfect actually. I can use them even now. But I want to take care of them first. So BLO and putty it is. 

Thank you for guiding me on what to do.

You're Welcome. I've been using blo for as long as I can remember. In between rub downs, polish it with a brown paper bag or the brown paper that comes in boxes. 

My stitching pony has been treated. Strap cutter also. I can't do unfinished wood.

If you're not familiar with BLO be careful disposing of any rags soaked in the stuff, they can self combust! Do a search on the 'net.

@dikman yes I have heard of that. So not bought it any time, even when recommended. But this time, I think I will. And take care to not give the rags a chance to combust.  I will probably use just one rag and dry it out thoroughly, spread out, as suggested.

They don’t spontaneously combust if you beat them to the punch. I burn my oily rags every night

That solves the problem the best, I should think.
