Bone Dagger

My thanks to everyone in identifying this dagger. The person that I bought this from found it in a box of mixed items that he bought from an estate sale and like me knew absolutely nothing about it. My concern now is how to conserve this item. Should the weaving be treated and if so with what? I'm just guessing but I think a coat of Renaissance Wax would probably help to protect the blade itself. If anyone has had any experience with preserving items like this I would appreciate any advice you can give me. Again I thank you all.
