Too rich for me, but they sure are purty.

I have a Wenger with a buffalo horn handle and an old Puma fixed blade with stag and to be honest, I usually avoid anything with antler or bone as it's not terribly durable and it requires maintenance to keep looking pretty.  My old Puma is a good example of what happens when they aren't maintained.

I had an old Champion with stag scales but I didn't like it and got shot.

I guess the most exotic one I have now is a vintage MoP Champion.  Don't really like that either, I really should get rid of that as well and put the pennies towards my XAVT!

I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

It's a good looking knife but at more than double the normal price tag I'll give it a miss.

What kind of maintenance it requires ?
(Sorry I never owned one so I don't know)
I only have 58mm MoP (like classic without the keyring) - is it need maintenance as well (the scales) ? and if so how ?

I think you have to oil them or something- to be honest, I haven't got a clue, which is why mine look like crap!

Maybe someone here will have more info than I do.

I don't think you should need to do anything to MoP but others might know better.  Just so you know a Classic without a keyring is called a Bijou.  See here:

I have one that was languishing on Felinevet's site for a long time.
It's still gorgeous, but what sort of "maintenance" should I be giving it?
