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 — 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-start=\"1573\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003eThis is a historic military design made as a working blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1664\"\u003eSimple.
