KNIFE CARE
No matter what knife you choose it is still important to use proper care and maintenance to ensure optimum performance. Always keep your knife blade sharp. (See sharpening ) Never sharpen your knife on a power grinding wheel as this can burn the temper out of the blade and weaken its integrity.

Always keep the locking areas of your knife clean as accumulation of dirt or debris could adversely affect the locking mechanism creating a potential safety hazard. Washing in soap and water with a bristle brush is fine. The mechanism should be lubricated after with duck oil or 3in1 household lubricant.

The stainless steel blade steels has to have a very high carbon content which increases hardness and allows a good cutting edge to be maintained.. Unfortunately, carbon is also the element that causes rust so, preventive care is needed if the knife is used in humid or marine environments. To aid in the cleaning of rust on the blades, we recommend using a chrome polish.

Your knife is designed for cutting only. Throwing it or using it as a chisel or cro-bar is not recommended.
