Ever since I was given this piece of advice I have rubbed my knife handles on the side of my nose .....
Thanks a lot, I should have searched better

Took me a while to find and I knew what I was looking for. The search function isn't that great since the big change.
You know you didn't need to use the main search function for it Jonathan. All you needed to do was to go to your profile and click on find all started threads to look through them for the one you were after.
Should have taken you all of 2 minutes to cheack all 174 of them
If you want it to stay white sand it to 1200 grit or there abouts and polsih it with a polishing wheel if you have and thats it. The polishing wheel is a nice to have and not necessary is any other kind of finish othe that regular use as salad said the oil off you hands is good enough.

Probably the Danish oil treatment will be my choice, because I'm quite "sensitive" about that knife and I don't want to stain the handle.
Most scndinavien knifemakers say that antler should not be oiled as it will stain yellow.
The antler does not stain easily and you can get a bleach cleaner for antler I will post a link when I get around to it as I am at work but my home PC is also faulty.
