Care Instructions – Deerstalker Knife
1. Cleaning After Use
-
Clean the blade as soon as possible after field use to prevent blood, fat, and moisture from causing corrosion.
-
Rinse with warm water and mild soap.
-
Use a soft brush to remove debris around the handle and guard.
-
Do not use a dishwasher—high heat and detergents damage both blade and handle.
2. Drying
-
Thoroughly dry the knife with a soft cloth.
-
Ensure no moisture remains where the blade meets the handle.
3. Oiling the Blade
-
Apply a thin coat of knife oil or food-safe mineral oil to prevent rust, especially if the blade is high-carbon steel.
-
Lightly oil after each clean or before long-term storage.
4. Sharpening
-
Maintain the edge using a whetstone, ceramic rod, or sharpening system at the blade’s recommended angle (typically 20°–25°).
-
Regular light touch-ups keep the blade performing better and reduce the need for aggressive sharpening.
5. Handle Care
Wooden handle:
-
Treat with linseed oil or a dedicated wood conditioner every few months.
Synthetic handle: -
Clean with warm water and mild soap; no special treatment needed.
6. Storage
-
Store the knife dry and oiled in a sheath or a ventilated place.
-
For leather sheaths: avoid long-term storage with the knife inside, as leather retains moisture and can cause rust.
7. Field Use Tips
-
Avoid prying, twisting, or batoning with the knife—this can damage the tip or edge.
-
Wipe the blade periodically during field dressing to prevent buildup and maintain control.
