I have a problem with the Respirene-C on my SOD's handle. It is soft and sticky in the region near the blade. It is viscid and it remains on my finger when using the knife if I press my finger there. See this picture.


Did anybody else ever have this problem with a Res-C handle?
Is it normal? What should I do?
On the end or middle of the handle it doesn't have any problem at all. This weak behaviour of the rubber is only in the area of the handle near the blade.
