Polyurethane can be formulated to be grippy by adding plasticizers, which increase its toughness. It can be rubbed just like an oil finish. I don't think there's much difference in tack. However, tung oil penetrates more deeply, which brings out color and grain. It is hides scratches and is easier to repair. You can always apply another layer of tung oil, but must roughen polyurethane if older than about 24 hours.

I love the deep, matte oil finish. It's the only finish I consider from Ahrends. Their grips afford control by their shape, and don't need checkering or stickiness.
