Написал на фирму, как нужно ухаживать (и нужно ли вообще) за кожаными наборными рукоятками. Писал именно в Кабар, так как посчитал что они на кожаных рукоятках уже собаку съели.
Вот такой ответ получил (в виде простенькой брошюрки). Может кому еще интересно будет.
Написано очень просто и понятно.
Leather Sheath and Handle Care
1) General Care:
a) Store in a dry location.
b) Oil periodically
c) A coating of wax is not a bad thing
d) Wipe down periodically with a clean cloth to keep mildew and mold off of the surfaces.
2) If leather gets wet:
a) Dry the leather naturally in air. No ovens, hair driers or other artificial heat source.
b) Once dry, oil the leather surfaces. There are many good leather oil/conditioner products on
the market.
c) Once the oil has absorbed into the leather, it will darken. Wait until the leather starts to
lighten and then wax the leather surfaces. Again, there are many leather waxes on the
market. Even car wax will work.
3) If leather gets dirty:
a) Wash off dirt with a leather or saddle soap. Dry
b) After leather is dry. Oil and wax.
4) Storage and handling of leather products:
a) Store in an area that has stable heat and humidity. Not too dry or too wet. Both conditions
are not good for leather. Too dry is better than too wet as oil can restore dry leather while
wet leather rots and degrades.
b) Handle leather products often. Oils from your hand will help condition the leather. The
leather will take a nice patina from usage.
