Do a Google search on
cellulose acetate butyrate
the 'stink' is mostly acetic acid and as it has been stated, the key
is ACID, think what would happen if you poured a cup of white vinegar
inside you favorite classic.
Yea not a bad but the idea is the same.
I emailed the Apex Tool Group a year ago and their response was live

you can buff the handles and then polish. But there is no way to stop
the chemical reaction.
Saying that, does not explain why I have some "Parks Metal Ware"
drivers that have not decayed.
