Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your knife.
- Cleaning: After each use, especially when used with corrosive materials or in damp environments, clean the blade with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly immediately to prevent rust, as the blade is made of carbon steel.
- Sharpening: The carbon steel blade will retain its edge well, but regular sharpening will maintain optimal performance. Use a suitable sharpening stone or tool, following the manufacturer's instructions for the sharpener. Maintain the original flat cutting edge angle.
- Storage: Always store the knife in its protective sheath in a dry place to prevent moisture exposure and protect the blade.
