Greetings: Just curious - I know the sheath is supposed to look "distressed" or broken in, but what should we ( the user ) use for maintenance? I decided to carry the stag & turquois Buck 110 and wanted to protect the sheath from water/moisture damage. I may have messed up, because I know nothing about leather. In one of my drawers was some Filson's Oil Based Wax. This is for clothing such as chaps worn when bird-hunting. I did not use very much and ended up hanging it to dry as you do with the clothing. Should I have just used regular saddle soap? Oh well, I may have darkened it a little but I feel better about the sheath withstanding some moister, now. I left the other sheath alone...the other knife is number 300. Both of these knives have fat handles. It is a handful of stag! Really nice deep ruts, too. Thank you to all at Buck Knives for providing a wonderful collectors piece and and awesome user! The turquois inlay and stag just had my name on it. Kinda knocked me silly as no other knife has done in a long time. Take care, Rob
p.s. Just a word of warning: The stag handles are so big that the tight fit can rip off the sticky felt pad inside the sheath. If you find glue on your knife's handle, that may be the case.
