Every part of it is made by hand, not mass produced, not machine perfect. Variations in finish, lines, and shape are normal and part of the character of a genuine handmade knife.

That means it’s tough and holds a great edge, but like all high carbon steels, it needs basic maintenance. Keep it lightly oiled to prevent rust. After use - especially after hunting or being outdoors - just wipe it down and give it a light spray of WD-40 or another quality oil. A quick wipe with an oiled rag every now and then will keep it in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1053\" data-start=\"947\"\u003eThis is a historic military design made to be used.\u003cbr data-end=\"1001\" data-start=\"998\"\u003eSuitable for hunting, camping and general field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1094\" data-start=\"1055\"\u003eBuilt properly.\u003cbr data-end=\"1073\" data-start=\"1070\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australian Heritage Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43036973793393,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/5287\/1537\/files\/pro-shot-07015cd4-1fa8-491b-944c-427e54802d0e.jpg?v=1772354094","url":"https:\/\/australianheritageknives.com\/products\/australian-army-ww2-smatchet","provider":"Australian Heritage Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
