All About Pocket Knives

9 3/8” long junk store find. Woodcraft style. Fair old knife. 390 5 Though about oiling the handle. Maybe cleaning the blade some. I’m not a straight knife guy. I have owned some Marbles and older Westerns. Harold

I have heard that oil on a stacked leather handle can soften and swell it to no good end result.

Thanks for the information, I don’t want to goof it up.

Is there a good product on the market to restore leather handle disks?

I have used a wax type boot waterproofing with more success than oil on the leather handles. Your sheath is not original to the knife, it is a Western sheath. Not really a woodcraft style, the Kinfolks equivalent to a woodcraft is the K 380 model.

Harold try bee's wax ,has always worked for me with stacked leather.

Thanks guys for your comments. Harold
