Product Care

General Care

  • Always clean after use with warm water and mild soap.

  • Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth — never leave the blade wet.

  • Avoid dishwashers and prolonged soaking.

  • Store in a dry place, ideally in a sheath or display stand.

Edge Care

  • Maintain the edge using a leather strop with 4.0 micron diamond compound.

  • For sharpening, the recommended grit maximum is 600-800.

  • Sharpen at an 18–20° angle for ideal edge geometry.

  • Do not pry, baton, or strike the blade against hard surfaces — this can damage the edge or compromise the steel.

  • Regularly apply a food-grade oil to protect the steel from erosion and rust. Recommended is WICKED WAX

Handle Care

  • Wipe clean with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.

  • Regularly apply a food-grade oil to protect the handle. Recommended is WICKED WAX

  • Store away from extreme heat or humidity to prevent warping or cracking.

  • Store in a cool, dry place — extended heat exposure may cause warping or delamination.
