Got a small Case knife, handle is really dirty, what’s the best way to clean the leather ring handle.

Depends on the type of dirt if your talking just general grunge saddle soap will work, if it’s oil and grease try dawn dish soap, or other type of oil dissolving soap, then depending on how ingrained it is might take a couple of applications, and the leather will also generally be darker then before as well, just the nature of leather

Really fine sandpaper may work.Then re oil it with neatsfoot or such.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

If it will do the job a lot of guys who used to use saddle soap and a brush now use Dawn the same way. It will take the oil out so I dry near low heat or in the sun b/c the leather will take oil back in easily when it I'd that warm.
