Ok

On pamored keris I use mineral oil mixed with jasmine on wootz I also use mineral oil if you use waxes on wootz there is a danger that the wax could strip the finish. For all others with cleaned light patina blades I use Bri-wax.

Jambiya=Briwax or Renaissance wax.

Keris=mineral oil

Axe with patina=Mineral oil

Wood=Briwax or Kiwi neutral paste shoe poliish sometimes brown to touch up badly weathered wood.

Horn=Renaissance wax or mineral oil very light coat wipe off after about 15-30 minutes.

Ivory=mineral oil. In the winter apply once every 6-8 weeks.
