KNIFE CARE

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.
