Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a manual folding knife, there is no complex setup required. To maintain the 284 BBW in peak condition, rinse the blade with fresh water and mild soap after exposure to salt or acidic substances, then dry it thoroughly to prevent spotting. Periodically apply a thin layer of knife-grade lubricant to the pivot point to ensure smooth deployment. Store the knife in a dry location when not in use for extended periods, and touch up the blade edge using a standard honing stone or sharpening system to maintain the factory performance.
