Got a new knife last week with a really nice Sambar Stag handle. I wiped the knife(and handle) down with my Tuff-Cloth but forgot that I sprayed Rem-Oil on the cloth! Will either one of these products harm a Stag handle? I also have a knife with an Oosic handle, how will chemicals effect this material?
Thanks.
 
While I don't think you did the stag any harm, you didn't do it any good either. I'm a stag fanatic, 90% of the knives I own are stag.I usually rub my stag down with some Rennassaince wax and a soft rag. Not too much and use the rag wadded up to get in the grooves. Gives the stag a nice sheen.
In the last Knives Illustrated magazine, Jerry Fisk suggests soaking your stag handles in mineral oil for 8 hours twice a year. It replaces the moisture the stag naturally loses from ageing.
Hope this helps.
