Troubleshooting

Blade appears dull

Sharpen the blade using a suitable sharpening tool designed for pocket knives. Ensure you follow proper sharpening techniques.

Clean the pivot area with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly and apply a single drop of lubricating oil to the pivot point.

Rust spots on the blade

Gently rub the rust spots with a fine-grit sharpening stone or a specialized rust eraser. Clean and dry the blade immediately after. Ensure proper drying and storage to prevent future rust.
