Its quite possible they are, if the pouch is leather, and has been kept oiled to keep its suppleness. It may have transfered to the scales, as well as for the condition of the blade, which looks very good as well.
I never thought of it that way, regarding the scales. That makes total sense. I'll really have to get in there with a fine tooth comb when the blade comes but definitely from the photos the blade does look GOOD!
Thanks for the feed back.
