Care & Maintenance
To keep your knife in peak condition, follow these simple steps:
- Clean Immediately: After field use, wash the blade and handle with mild soap and warm water. Ensure you remove all organic matter from the gut-hook and folding mechanism.
- Dry Thoroughly: Moisture is the enemy. Dry the knife completely with a soft cloth before folding it away to prevent spotting or corrosion.
- Lubricate: Periodically apply a small drop of mineral oil or dedicated knife lubricant to the pivot point (the hinge) to keep the opening action smooth.
- Sharpen Regularly: Use a sharpening rod or whetstone to maintain the edge. For the gut-hook, a small-diameter ceramic honing rod works best to follow the interior curve.
