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.
