Made you look!! No kidding though, my Izula II in black oxide is one stinky smelling blade. Is there anything I can do to keep it from stinking and my hands after touching it?
I have 4 Esee neck knives and avoid stinky. I guess have to man up and use him. I took the handles off and worked him over with steel wool then oiled him. He’s a little stinker for sure
give it a good cleaning with some warm, soapy water and a brush, then dry it thoroughly. After that, try rubbing it down with a bit of mineral oil or a silicone-based lubricant. This not only helps prevent rust but also can reduce any lingering odor.
