Care instructions:

• Wash the knife under running water with a drop of dish soap.
• We then recommend applying a few drops of blade oil to the blade to protect the knife from developing a patina.
• Not suitable for the dishwasher.
• To resharpen the knife, we recommend one of our diamond leathers.
• Please note that regular care with handle oil is recommended for the desert ironwood version.
