Thread: protection for wood scales

Evening everyone and happy weekend to all.

I would like to ask how can i protect and shine the wooden scales on my two blades?
I have a Diamant and a Biz and both have wood scales.

Also is there a way to shine up the blade from time to time?

Thank you

AFIK Renaissance Wax is hard to beat for protecting scales, and once polished , blades as well. For a paper towel polisher , like me, I use Semichrome, Flitz or Wenol because those work well and are available in my neck of the woods.

thank you i will have to try those out

Renaissance wax on the blade also makes it rinse clean much easier. That's my favorite thing about it.

The renaissance wax seems a bit like my Briar pipe wax made of beeswax and carnauba wax.
