Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

do what you do very gently - better to have a bit of oiliness than a disintegrated leather scabord , acetone is quite harsh i think ,
wrap it in paper towels [to absorb the oils] put it in a black plastic bag [to absob the heat] and lay it in the hot sun for a few hours , repeat till satisfied ,

I could be in your neighborhood, we're in the right state for it

I'm single, so I could use the oven..but I'm forgetful. I'd hate to put it in there and when I remembered about it, found a new sheath for a paring knife :lol

I can clean the blade and handle in the mean time though

very true , i bet you dont have a paring knife that you carry in a sheath - scabord , i think the sun would be best anyway , or some other slow method , dont want to rush things as thats when damage occurs
