I seem to remember I read somewhere that if wrapped in wax paper before putting into sheath this will prevent the green stuff!?!Thanks Roger for your continued efforts.
There's some nice stuff this week.
Awhile ago I put these few in a box, in the leather sheath. I try to never do that.
Here they are after cleaning some of the green off of them.
I need more storage options.

This. I have been wrapping in regular, kitchen type wax paper for 12 or so years. I hate to get the sheath's separated from the proper knife. I have not had the green stuff on brass since using the wax paper.I seem to remember I read somewhere that if wrapped in wax paper before putting into sheath this will prevent the green stuff!?!

I would suggest saran or stretch wrap. Clings better and thinner for a good fit into the sheath. One of those small rolls with the handle is handier than a pocket on a shirt for all sorts of stuff around the kingdom, inside and out. That said, I try not to STORE brass in the sheath, and if the knife is in regular use I wouldn't bother with either. The verdigris only happens with long term stationary storage in the sheath giving the tannins in the leather opportunity.I seem to remember I read somewhere that if wrapped in wax paper before putting into sheath this will prevent the green stuff!?!

We still like you RogerI've noticed that the Sunday Picture Show has one of the highest view counts for a non recurring thread. Last weeks SPS for example has a view count of 2K. That's a lot of lurkers, where do they come from? I sure didn't get that many likes...![]()
