In a no-magic setting, what's the correct way to treat the wound from a weapon that was smeared in feces?
If it was poison I would say antidote, but this is disease which is pretty different.
Disinfectant and antibiotics.

Give him basic anti-biotics and then watch him die

Disinfect the wound.
If necessary, prescribe antibiotics.
Clean the wound, douse in alcohol, stitch if necessary, wrap it up.

Boiling wine
using game mechanics can't alchemists just make a potion of cure disease? their rules do state that it is not magic but the potions act like equivilent spells
Pre-antibiotics, I'd say boil some water in a silver pan and clean his wounds with it, then boil fresh water and drop bandages in there. Let them sok for a minute, then heat-dry them, bathe the wounds in silvered clean water again, the bind the wounds as tight as you can and hope for the best.
Post antibiotics, look for any signs of infection after cleaning and binding his wounds with antibiotic bandages, then prescribe the most specific medicines you can to target the bacteria he seems to be suffering from.

Irrigating the wound with disinfectants, then antibiotics and more disinfectant irrigation if any sign of infection appears. It's gross but honestly it's not that dangerous as long as you have ready access to somewhere with semimodern medical care and it's not a deep puncture.

Usually fantasy games overlook these, like how ww1/ww2 movies overlook diarrhea and disease.
Shit's just not fun (pun not intended).
You can go with disinfection and antibiotics if they know what causes it, or have alchemists brew up anti-shits/uber antibacteria, but usually there's no helping someone with sepsis, only a "cure disease" miracle/spell would work. There is no antidote, and even today, sepsis is extremely deadly and nigh uncurable if it catches someone, so antibioitics and desinfection of wounds is extremely important. I'm unsure how someone would get saved even today if he got stabbed deep enough with a shit-covered blade.

Would honey work?

Of course if you can't get it cleaned and treated quickly it can easily go right into the grave

I would advise against honey. Just because it doesn't spoil doesn't mean it's clean.

Clean wound, apply alcohol and herbal disinfectants, cauterise if necessary, then stitch.
