Cleaning: After use, wipe all parts (blade, handle, stainless - steel blade holder, pivot pin, liner lock bar) with a dry cloth. For tough stains, use a slightly damp cloth then dry immediately.
Blade Upkeep: For blades needing rust prevention (e.g., high - carbon steel), apply a thin layer of knife oil regularly, especially in humid conditions.
Handle Care: The green Micarta handle is durable. Avoid long - term water immersion; dry promptly if wet. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasives on it.
Component Maintenance: Keep ball - bearing washers and the pivot area clean. Use a small brush to remove dirt if necessary.
Storage: Store in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Lanyard Hole: Check the lanyard for wear if using the lanyard hole. Keep the hole clean to ensure proper lanyard function.
