Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your utility knife.

• Cleaning: Keep the knife clean and free of debris. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the handle and blade after each use. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by thorough drying.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the blade track and moving parts of the mechanism to ensure smooth operation. Wipe off any excess oil.
• Storage: Store the knife in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Always ensure the blade is fully retracted before storage.
