Care of 529 BuckSkins

[DeSotoSky]

I have 12 of these and they are about 25 years old now (c.1988). Should I treat the leather so they last another 25 years? Mineral oil or something for leather or just leave them be? I don't want to risk harming the dye color or loosening the adhesive so something with a solvent is definately out. Any advice?

DSS, I own 10 of them and I don't do anything for conservation. I hope that the Buckskins doesn't need any additional care. But would you please show us a photo? You know, everybody of us wants to see knife pictures.

Hi Herbert. Ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und alles Gute zum neuen Jahr.
Santa brought me a nice small tabletop camera mount and I'm working on an indoor photography setup.
Up till now my pictures have been hand held outside and not always so steady.
I'm not ready yet but soon I hope. /Roger
