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 Paolo |

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

Here are the pics, the best I can do with a rainy day. Also attached two close up of the wootz (?) blade, not too contrasting, but is the first one I etched by myself.
