DonPerreaultWipe it down with mineral oil and see how it goes, alternately let's trade, I'd love another Rike (I have the ZD-006) but I'm cash-poor, knife-rich lol

OmniseedThank you for the offer, however, I returned it to MassDrop. I couldn't take the smell.
I know the feeling of being knife and firearm rich and cash poor. I sold my BenchMade last Friday on Amazon and a few others in the past few months. I just moved to Florida two weeks ago and left all my non-compliant MA firearms with a friend to sell for me at top dollar because they are on a banned list in MA. I can replace them here in Florida were they are not on the MA AG do not sell list. I also own many BenchMade, Lion Steel and a couple SpyderCo, not a huge fan of SpyderCo although I love my Rubicon. I own a couple Steeve Reeve's and then 2 Damascus bladed knifes. I purchased my first Zero Tolerance 0770CFCM4 at the end of last year and it instantly became my EDC. Love the lightness, blade retention and how nice and thin it sits in my pocket.
Enjoy....

DonPerreaultI am not sure what the smell is but its very difficult to get rid of. Its on a lot of Chinese knives I have received. I think they wipe it down with a chemical and by the time we get it all packed and no air to allow it to dissipate, it seems to stay and it takes for ages to go away. Originally I thought it was just a smell I couldn't get out of my nose but my wife also smells it.

When it arrived today, I couldn't resist opening the package. Good looking knife considering it has tango blade, which I had forgot that it had the Tanto blade or wouldn't have opened it. Anyway, knife seem to be a decent knife, it is big and a little over priced for a production knife that seems to be everywhere now a day. Since I opened it, I wouldn't have minded so much to keep in my collection if it was not so oversold.
My **REAL** serious complaint is when opening the package I got a instantaneous distinct moldy scent. Upon inspection it seems to be coming mostly from the pouch but has adhered itself to the knife, wow it is horrible and I generally can't smell at all. I stepped in dog shit last week and didn't know it until my wife told me I walked all over the house with it on my shoes and didn't even realize it. We had to have the carpets cleaned.
I am curious if anybody else has smelt this horrendous moldy smell. I can't be the only person and would think the whole batch would have the smell. Please respond if you are smelling the mold as I am.
