Kinfolks USA
9 3/8” long junk store find. Woodcraft style. Fair old knife. 390 5 Though about oiling the handle. Maybe cleaning the blade some. I’m not a straight knife guy. I have owned some Marbles and older Westerns. Harold

I have heard that oil on a stacked leather handle can soften and swell it to no good end result.

Re: Kinfolks USA
Is there a good product on the market to restore leather handle disks?
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Kinfolks USA
I have used a wax type boot waterproofing with more success than oil on the leather handles. Your sheath is not original to the knife, it is a Western sheath. Not really a woodcraft style, the Kinfolks equivalent to a woodcraft is the K 380 model.
