Cleaning micarta handles?

[ktomes_340]

I have a very high amount of oil in my skin and was wondering if there was anyway to clean the handles of my RAT Knives. Preferably, some way without having to remove the handles.

Hot soapy water. :thumbup:

I would try Windex. Just spray it on and leave it, as it dries I believe the ammonia in it bonds to and removes the oil from the Micarta.

Dawn dish soap and a old toothbrush, or a fingernail brush.


Takes about 1 minute and they look like new.

Yup - they clean up mighty nice and really always do look brand new...

As stated, Windex works great. Spray the grips & wipe them with a paper towel. When they dry, they look like new again.

IMO,,,,leave it a little dirt and oil give a knife character.....

my RC-3 MIL was all soaked in blood (kind of dried in because I didn't have time to clean it for a few hours) and after like a minute with soap and water scrubbing it was like new again! so soap and water works just fine!

Yep.

Mine look black and used.


I had to try and clean them once though, just to see what they would look like.

Also cleaned em up for a few people to show them how easy it was.

Soap usually does it. When I touch up my blade on the sharp maker, I'll often use commet + green scrubby to clean the ceramic rods. If my knife is there, I'll give the handle a little scrubby+commet action also. Works great.
