Apply a thin coat of mineral oil or specialized knife oil on the blade to prevent rust. This is crucial for high-carbon steel blades.

For wood handles, occasional application of linseed oil can help maintain its luster. For Micarta or G10, a simple wipe-down should suffice.

Keep the edge sharp by using a sharpening stone, maintaining the original angle of the blade.
