Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the blade clean and dry and apply a light film of oil to the blade occasionally to prevent corrosion. Treat the wooden handle with a suitable wood oil or wax periodically to preserve its appearance and prevent drying. Use gloves if performing extended cutting tasks, and avoid using the knife on hard materials such as wire or thick wood to prevent blade damage.
