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.
