UPDATE:
I took a look at the horn handle on my 15" Sirupati by Amtrack. It was sealed with 4 coats of natural Watco. No cracks, and it has been many months - perhaps 8.

I would guess that Watco works, and does not change the appearance much. I don't smack my knives around, they just sit there and look nice.
 
I'm on coat 6 of the Walosi formula on a nicely handled BDC 14 incher.

I'll try to post a pic when I'm up to 12 or so coats.
 
Brian,

This is from one of Dan's posts (6/2003):

Personally, I use a mixture of Tung and Linseed Oil thinned down by acetone - call it the Walosi special. The Tung penetrates for depth, the Linseed gives it sheen and the acetone helps it dry faster. 1:2:1 respectively.
