First Case XX Fixed Blade

[XX Case XX]

Received my very first Case Fixed Blade (1981) today from Steve. I do have a few questions though:

1. What do I use to clean the original sheath?
2. What do I use to keep the leather on both the sheath & knife soft it doesn't start cracking?

I have always used Fiebings Saddle soap for cleaning leather and Cavalier Mink oil for preserving. But there are a lot of other good products out there now too.

Great find, Mike! That stacked leather is gorgeous. Well done!

Ren Wax the knife and sheath!!

I’ve had great luck with Bick 4. What I like about it is it will not change the color of the leather. And it doesn’t leave any residue. That sheath looks thirsty a good coat of Bick will make it look new again.
