Hi Gunar,

I don't know about wich blade you speaking, the Visayan kris or the talibon similar blade in the pictures. And yes, both blades received a polish.

All bone, horn, ivory and wooden parts get linseed oil when I receive them. I have nearly closed a big crack in an ivory handle by long bath in linseed oil.
