finishing wood for handles

[razrbak428]

Almost finished my first knife and wondered what I should use to protect the wood on the handle? Was thinking about tru oil maybe and I also have some clear polyurethane. Thanks for the help!

Tru-oil is the only thing i use, i have used superglue too but im not fond of it. there are alot of other that use different finshes to seal the handles, others guys will join in soon

I just applied a coat of Danish oil on a handle. It soaks in nicely, but we'll see how it turns out.

I like Danish oil sanded in wet with 600 grit wet dry paper. 3 coats buff between coats. Then apply hard furniture wax with a clean wheel on a buffer. Done right it looks like glass.
