I've had really good results . . .

. . .with Tru-Oil on gun stocks. Proper application is time-consuming as many hand-rubbed coats are requireed to produce the results I desire.

I don't know if this would be a good finish for knife handles if you consider that the knife might get really wet in use or cleanup. It's possible to easily touch-up a Tru-Oil finish, but I dunno if that's desirable.

Wonder if some variety of poly varnish might be better? Perhaps it might make the grip too slick??
