    +1 on the use of fine abrasive like 2k wet dry paper. It worked for me: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...ing-wedge.html. The scales were in bad shape, but polished up nicely. I would use renaissance wax to protect the ivory afterwards. Sand carefully and use a hard backer so you don't loose the contrast in the etched bit.
