Leather handle on pilot's knife

[zonaman]

I have a 1968 Camillus Pilot's Survival knife that has a leather handle. The handle is in perfect condition, is there anything I should do to help preserve it or just leave it alone? Thanks for your help.

The one person I asked said a little neetsfoot oil ( little goes a long way )
for my new knife. It's not greasy and should keep the washers from shrinking.
This is the stuff he makes :http://www.levergunleather.com/
He has a few sheaths on his site.

I'd also like to hear other opinions.

Thanks Phil, I'll try it on a small corner to see how it takes.
