5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
After each use, especially after cutting corrosive or sticky materials, clean the blade and handle. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. For stubborn residue, use a mild soap solution and rinse well. Ensure no moisture remains in the pivot area.
5.2 Sharpening
A sharp blade is safer and more effective. Sharpen the smooth edge using a sharpening stone or appropriate sharpener at a consistent angle. The serrated edge requires a specialized sharpener designed for serrations. If you are unsure, seek professional sharpening services.
5.3 Lubrication
Periodically apply a small drop of light machine oil to the blade's pivot point to ensure smooth opening and closing. Wipe off any excess oil.
5.4 Storage
Store the knife in a clean, dry environment. Avoid storing it in damp conditions, which can lead to corrosion.
6. Troubleshooting
- Blade is stiff to open or close: The pivot may be dirty or dry. Clean the pivot area and apply a small amount of lubricant.
- Blade does not lock securely: Inspect the locking mechanism for debris or damage. Clean thoroughly. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact customer support.
- Blade is dull: The blade requires sharpening. Refer to section 5.2 for sharpening instructions.
