Hello all, I'm considering taking my first venture into the world of Randall knives. At current, there are two that I'm considering...one of which has a leather washer handle (hence the title, lol)
The SOG S1 is the only other knife I've owned with a leather washer handle. For maintenance the only thing suggested to me was to coat it with ren wax periodically if I intended it to be a long term collection piece.
My general questions are...
1) Are there different types/grades of leather washer handles and if so what type are on Randall knives
2) Are there any recommended practices for maintaining Randall leather washer handles (i.e. ren wax like I used on the S1, etc...)
3) How would you describe the overall feel of Randall's leather handles...very firm to the grip or with a little "give"?
I don't know too much about leather washer handles, obviously from my lack of ownership of them
Any info and/or advice would be great, thanks
