Get a cloth buffing wheel and some polishing compound and use that on the wood after you've sanded it to 400 or 600 grit. Then clean all the polishing compound off the wood, and get some Johnson's Paste Wax and heat the handle by holding over a stove burner--warm, but not too hot. Wipe the paste wax on the handle -- if it doesn't melt, the handle isn't warm enough. Repeat 4 times, polish with an old t-shirt, and it's done. When the handle loses its shine, just wax it up again.
Here's one I did couple of years ago:

The super fine automotive sand paper works good too the 1000 grit and it will be cheaper than buying a polishing wheel if you don't have a grinderComment

Use Tru Oil for the high polish. I'd do about 5-6 coats if you want to float out the grain completely. Appy with your index finger. Paste wax for final coat.
They look great!
