Even good dry cherry moves a good bit compared to other hardwoods like hard maple or walnut.
I've had good luck with Tru-Oil on users I make. It's good enough for classic rifles, it's good enough for a knife. It's easy to touch up when you need to.
If you want something more waterproof without going to a stabilized wood then look at a Marine Spar Varnish, like is used on the woodwork of boats.
