I have a USMC KA-BAR Fight/Utility knife, and I have a problem. I have noticed that my leather handles look really dull. I need to know how to polish them, or what ever you do to leather?.. Sorry I am new to knives with leather handles. Please help me out?!
 
give it a good scrub with leather soap, and after its dry you can try using leather oil or conditioner wiped with a rag. I like neatsfoot oil but it can darken the color, and fiebing's aussie is an excellent conditioner. Of course, the best polish comes from use and time :D

You know where I could pick up that stuff?
 
I wouldn't use neatsfoot oil as it can soften the leather. I like the Fiebing treatment, or Lexol.
