I have my father-in-law's WWII Ka-bar.It is a Navy issue...he was a Sea bee.
It and the scabbard are in decent shape but the leather disks on the handle are badly shrunken....the same with the scabbard. The things just drips with patina but I would like to restore the leather to it's original size. Do you guys know a good oil(?) to soak them in......ya'll seem to know bout anything worth knowing
I keep it sharp and it's no wall ornament but I'd like to pass it on to my son in better shape than I got it.
