Please don't wash the fabric. I would leave it as it is, just as the handle!
It is better that it smells like moro than if it would smell like lotion.
Maybe you could give the scabbard a light wax to bring new live in the wood.

Hi Maurice,

yeah, I have seen your kris and think that it is the same sort of varnish on my blade. What you have used to remove it?

Will let the mansala like this and hope that it don't smell to strong!

The sheat will get a good care, only the demage will be a problem.

Best,

Detlef
