Collector knife received from smoker. Overreacting?

Cigarette smoke scent will go away. Clean the knife with rubbing alcohol. I agree that it's annoying. I haven't
smoked in 18 years and I can smell the slightest taint of it a mile away. But the worst was when I got knife
that smelled of cigar. That REALLY reeks.

The smell gets into plastics and fabrics something fierce. it binds and then those unhealthy volatile chemicals slowly release back into the air over time. I bet it's nasty on micarta. It took 2.5 weeks to get the smoke smell out of my truck cab when a mechanic smoked in there. You can be sure the garage heard about that.
An article republished by the NIH found that cars that have been smoked in lose around 10% in resale value. It's property damage, so for all those who think smoke-haters are just whining, think again.
Next time you bid on a used knife, ask if the PO is a smoker and adjust your bid accordingly.
