I picked up this Marble knife at a sale for $1.00. The old guy said he was always going to clean it up but he has too many projects going on. Other than being dirty and just some surface rust it is a solid knife. Handle is tight, and the stacked leather is in good shape. Total length is 10", blade is 6". Believe it or not, the blade is quite sharp. I have no problem getting the blade back in shape, but what would you use to clean up the leather sheath and handle? I have Neatsfoot Oil to use after the clean.

A dollar?! That’s great!!

I would use some fels naphtha soap on the sheath and a soft brush.

Hopefully cotton will chime in, he seems to be our leather guru. Very nice knife, and excellent price.

Nice knife a lot of times a soft brush with just water can clean a lot.

You wanna double your money??

I've got an old Case that was my uncles that looks almost identical....I would clean the leather with saddle soap or Murphys oil soap...Ballistol also does wonders for old leather...
Neatsfoot oil will soften leather maybe more than you want.

K-zoo, take it, or send it to RRKW in Rapid River MI. It will take them no time at all to bring it back to a clean life. with a sharp edge to boot.

Great find and buy!

John.Fournier who I believe is a member of the U.P. Trappers Assoc.,and lives in Escanaba restores Marbles knives and sheaths.

Very cool! If I recall I think the steel was 52100 in those blades.

I have a couple with the stacked leather handles that look similar but they are both Craftsman. I have a 3rd one that is Western Field.

Saddle soap water and a soft brush will clean the sheath and handle. Let them dry a day two then oil pretty heavy with pure neatsfoot oil. The oil will darken the leather some.

Thank you guys for the advice. Appreciate it.
