Cleaning Tips

Regular Wiping

After each use or practice session, wipe down the knife with a damp cloth to remove sweat, dirt, or oils.

Lubrication

Use a high-quality knife lubricant on the pivot points for smooth operation. Do this monthly, or more often if you use the knife frequently.

Blade Care

 If you have a stainless steel blade, occasional application of a rust inhibitor can help prevent corrosion. Damascus steel blades may require more frequent oiling.
