Carrying knives, tools and gear is an honor and a privilege. Taking care of them is equally important. Respect your tools and they'll always return the favor – there's no better feeling than the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're ready for whatever life throws at you.

Safety First

• Keep knives and tools safely out of the reach of children
• Use your tool for its intended purpose only
• Keep knives sharp – a sharp knife is safer than a dull one

Daily Care

• Clean after each use with mild soap and water
• Hand wash only – avoid dishwashers
• Towel dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion
• Lubricate after cleaning to maintain smooth operation

Long-Term Maintenance

• Oil monthly or more depending on frequency of use
• Avoid prolonged exposure to salt water or gritty materials
• Professional service may be required for sharpening, disassembly, or advanced maintenance

Storage Tips

• Store in a dry environment
• Use blade guards or sheaths when possible
• Keep moving parts lightly oiled

Proper care ensures your Burnside knife will serve you reliably for years to come.
