I always kept my CG DF in leather - and it has many naked spots - but my blades are constantly wiped down w/ Tuf Cloth. I will NOT be storing my DFLE in leather, though - everything I've ever read said not to store knives, particularly satin, in leather. So I just stick by that!

WD - the knife is already covered in wrapping paper... we'll have to wait about 2.5 months for new pix from a 26 year old Diceman!!
