Product Care
Simple maintenance guidance to help keep your product clean, dry, and in good condition over time.
How should I clean the product after use?
Wipe the product clean after use and make sure it is fully dry before storing it. Keeping the surface clean and dry is the simplest way to maintain the finish.
How do I help prevent rust?
Keep the product dry, store it in a cool and dry place, and avoid leaving it exposed to moisture for long periods. A light maintenance routine is always a good idea for high-carbon steel.
How should I store the product?
Store the product in a dry location and avoid long-term exposure to humidity. If the product includes a sheath, make sure both the blade and sheath are clean and dry before storage.
Should I oil the steel?
For long-term storage or regular maintenance, a light protective oil is a practical choice for high-carbon steel. If you use the product frequently, check the surface regularly and maintain it as needed.
How should I care for the handle?
Keep the handle clean and dry. Wipe it down after use and avoid storing it in damp conditions for long periods.
How should I care for the sheath?
Keep the sheath clean and dry, and check it periodically for trapped moisture or debris. A dry sheath helps the whole product stay in better condition.
What should I do before long-term storage?
Before long-term storage, clean the product, dry it fully, check the surface, and store it in a dry place. A quick inspection before storage can help keep the product in better condition over time.
