Regularly check the handle onlay and sheath for wear, and maintain the blade edge with appropriate sharpening methods according to the blade type.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting performance, keep the blade clean and dry after use, sharpen the full fine edge as needed with a suitable sharpening stone or system, and inspect the TacHide onlay and sheath before prolonged field use. Use the gut hook only for its intended purpose and follow local regulations when using the knife for hunting-related tasks.
