Maintenance and Care
Cleaning:
After each use, clean the blade and handle thoroughly. The manufacturer recommends Hand Wash Only. Use mild soap and water, then dry immediately to prevent rust and maintain the leather handle's integrity.
Sharpening:
Regular sharpening will maintain the blade's edge. Use a sharpening stone or appropriate sharpening tool, following the blade's original angle. Always sharpen away from your body.
Storage:
Store knives in their provided nylon sheaths in a dry environment. Avoid storing in damp conditions to prevent corrosion.

- Loose Handle: If the handle feels loose, it may require tightening or professional repair. Do not use the knife if the handle is unstable.
