I just got my first Brazilian B/W horn scale Walts classic and I don't know how to care for and polish the scale. Any suggestions would be great

I prefer Renaissance Wax. You'll likely get a few other opinions.

Ren Wax is fine.
I prefer neutral paste shoe polish, but any wax will work.

I was told many years ago to periodically rub olive oil on the horn. I have followed that advice. sometime I'll leave a residue for a day or two before wiping it down. Does it work? I have no evidence to the contrary.

IMO, only natural materials should be used to scale an Italian Stiletto. Acrylic scales put the knife in a class that was once permeated by card knives manufactured in Providence RI., five & dime junk.
