Sweat and the g10 handles on an RC-3

[rrpalma]

Hello,

I've been EDCing an RC-3 IWB, under a t-shirt in very hot weather. While it's very comfortable and I really don't notice it, I do see some sweat stains on the handle. Any way to remove those?

Thanks!

Soap and water should work.

dish soap or shampoo and a dead toothbrush to scrub with.

Dish soap and a toothbrush also work GREAT on the canvas micarta as well.
My ESEE 4 handle looks BRAND SPANKIN' NEW!!!!

I would second the use of regular dish soap and an old toothbrush. G10 should be impervious to water and I would also guess that it would impervious to sweat and most grime.

If you've been using the same toothbrush for more than a few months, clean your knife with it and buy a new one!

Zippo fluid seems to work pretty well but the soap and water sounds a little better/cheaper.

Glass cleaner works too. If it is G-10 though you shouldn't be having staining problems. Micarta maybe is what you meant?

So I'll go ahead and be the stupid one and ask the stupid question, but unless I am mistaken, the dishsoap + toothbrush method works for both the canvas and linen micarta, correct?

Yes. The canvas might require a bit more elbow grease though, since it is more porous.
