Maintaining the sharpness and longevity of your blades requires a dedicated maintenance routine. From choosing between sharpening stones and systems to understanding the nuances of pocket blade upkeep, proper attention ensures your tools remain functional and safe. Regular cleaning and oiling of moving parts, especially for folders, will prevent wear and keep mechanisms smooth. Prioritizing these habits transforms a simple tool into a reliable companion for daily tasks or outdoor adventures.

Incorporating effective knife care & collection strategies allows you to preserve the value and performance of each piece. By focusing on both acquisition and preservation, you ensure that every item in your possession remains in peak condition for years to come.
