Care & Maintenance

High carbon steel requires regular care. Keep the steel clean and dry, especially after handling, and apply a light protective oil before longer periods of storage to help reduce the chance of surface corrosion.

Keep the rosewood handle away from prolonged moisture and periodically inspect the leather wrapping and head attachment for changes.
