What is the recommended way to take care of the leather handle on my new 3-5?

This is my first RK and I can't wait until I can afford more.

Thanks, Rick

Do you plan on using it or storing it? If you plan to use it you should not need any kind of special care other than handling it. If it got wet I would dry it out slowly.

Rick, Just use it. If you get it wet just wipe it down with a cloth or rag and let it dry naturally. Same with the sheath. I think the oils and sweat you transfer to it when using helps some how. Just my 2 cents.

If you have access to Renaissance Wax - use it periodically to keep the leather soft/pliable. My $0.02 also! grin

Rick,
You may want to edit your thread title to add (SWITCH)at the end. We are having a drawing for a very cool tool and all new threads with (SWITCH) in the title will be counted in the drawing.
