After use, clean and dry the blade and handle, then store the knife in a safe place.

Usage recommendations

Keep out of reach of children. Regularly clean and lightly oil the blade to prevent corrosion. Use appropriate safety precautions when cutting; do not use the knife as a pry bar or for tasks beyond its design.
