RandomQ - Spyderco Ceramic Leather Smell?

[sadmin]

Holy crap - just received an UF Ceramic Spyderco and the leather slip is actually so pungent my kids even commented from 3 rooms away. LOL.. did anyone experience this? I had to lay it outside, have never smelled anything quite like it.
Really random and silly question but had to ask, its nuts.

Nope, had two of them and no smell at all. I did have some scales once that smelled like rubber gym floors though. That smell was awful and stunk up the whole room until they aired out.

Chances are your sheath may have some (unseen) mold or other organic issue.

I would suggest dipping an old rag in some vinegar, wring it out well (you don't want it dripping wet) and pack it into the sheath overnight. Rub a bit of vinegar on the outside of the sheath as well.

Now I wanna smell it.

Internet for the first time ever you've let me down.

It doesn’t sound like natural veg tan, but more like unnatural unethical acid dipped toxic sheath deluxe out of shady conditions.

right.. i mean I thought I had gotten "bio-weaponed" at first. Must have been softened with Durian fruit and the tears of the oppressed.

When you placed it outside, did it attract scavengers?

Good leather should smell like, well.... good leather.
