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.
