A VERY NICE COMPLETE EXAMPLE. THERE IS A PRODUCT CALLED GOOF-OFF OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT WILL REMOVE MOST STICKY GUNK WITHOUT DAMAGING THE KNIFE BUT I WOULD NOT GET IT ON THE IVORY JUST IN CASE. WD-40 MIGHT WORK OR WOOD ALCOHOL.
IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY ROSEWOOD WAS SOMETIMES USED FOR SCABBARDS ON THESE PERHAPS THERE IS SOMETHING IN OLD FORUM POSTS. FINDING A INTACT SCABBARD ON THESE IS RARE AS MOST ARE EASILY BROKEN AND OFTEN DISCARDED WHEN BROKEN. SO BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE SCABBARD AS ITS THE MOST FRAGILE PART, THE METAL COVERING HELPS PROTECT IT ON YOURS.

I have seen Isopropyl Alcohol suggested as a Gunk remover... perhaps others can chime in here with their opinions on this stuff.
