Hello Blue,
hope the the handle will show a nice grain, oil it and polish the wood with car polish, this works very fine. I doubt that the wire is metal, look more like fiber or something similar, when it is metal you can use "never dull", this don't let this ugly white traces compound metal polish will show. Scabbard halfes seems to be glued but you will know it soon as you have received it.
Regards,
Detlef
