Wood handles no, but I've used it on pens. Wouldn't recommend it, it looks good but it's slicker than greased snot, last thing you want is a knife flying out of your hand cause you couldn't keep a grip on it. For woods that aren't oily exotics or resin stabilized, I'm fond of pure oil finishes, the ones like Tung, linseed and the like that absorb into the wood but don't leave a thick film. Bring out the wood, protect it, make it look good, but they don't make it slick. I stick to plain boiled linseed oil for mine, but I've used tru-oil in the past to good results.

For dense, oily hardwood and the like, I'm pretty fond of buffing with some scotchbrite and a coat of paste wax. Makes the wood look fantastic without flying off to neverland
