Operating Instructions

Proper Grip

The G10 handle scales are designed for a secure and ergonomic grip. Hold the handle firmly, ensuring your fingers are clear of the blade edge and the guard prevents your hand from slipping onto the blade.

Blade Use

• Use the knife for cutting tasks appropriate for a fixed blade knife, such as camping, hiking, hunting, or general utility.
• Apply controlled pressure and always cut away from your body and other people.
• Avoid prying or twisting the blade, as this can damage the edge or the blade itself.

Sheath Use

• To insert the knife: Carefully slide the blade into the Kydex sheath until you feel a secure click, indicating the pressure retention system has engaged.
• To remove the knife: Grip the handle firmly and pull the knife straight out of the sheath with a deliberate motion. Avoid twisting.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Hand Wash Only: After each use, especially if exposed to moisture or corrosive materials, clean the blade and handle.
• Use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Thoroughly dry the knife immediately after washing to prevent rust or corrosion, particularly on the blade.

Blade Sharpening and Care

• The 3cr13 stainless steel blade is designed for good edge retention and easy maintenance.
• Regularly hone the blade with a suitable sharpening stone or ceramic rod to maintain its razor-sharp edge.
• If the blade becomes significantly dull, professional sharpening may be required.
• Apply a thin layer of rust-preventative oil to the blade if storing for extended periods or in humid environments.

Sheath Care

• Clean the Kydex sheath with mild soap and water as needed.
• Ensure the sheath is completely dry before re-inserting the knife.
• Periodically check the attachment hardware for tightness and wear.

Troubleshooting

• Dull Blade: If the blade loses its sharpness, refer to the "Blade Sharpening and Care" section for instructions on honing or professional sharpening.
• Loose Sheath Retention: If the sheath no longer holds the knife securely, inspect the Kydex for damage or deformation. Ensure no debris is lodged inside. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• MOLLE Attachment Issues: If the sheath does not stay attached to MOLLE webbing, verify that the clips are correctly engaged and tightened. Ensure the webbing is not damaged.
