Hi Paolo,
If this was mine I would apply a little Renaissance Wax and leave it as is. JMHO.

Thank You for Your advices. I like to have my edge weapons at their best, so I dislike the little stratches and the matt stain on the hilt's surface. I think that, as Robert Coleman write, I'll apply wax. I don't know 'Renaissance', might be a good bee wax will be so effective ?

Almost any wax would be fine, and then polish the wax. Renaissance wax is best IMHO because it solidifies quickly into microcrystals and no need to heat it. You can apply it from can to piece with a cloth or fingers immediately.

Great stuff!

I found on the web where to buy the wax. The shipping (to Italy) will take time, however, listening to Your advice, I 'll only apply the wax on the hilt, hoping to score well.
Thank You for Your help

I applied Renaissance wax on the horn hilt. Really satisfied about the effect!
Thank You
Paolo
