- 🛠️ Care and sharpening
- Sharpening:
- CPM-S30V is a very hard steel that retains its sharpness for a long time. Even so, regular sharpening is necessary for optimal performance.
- Use a fine ceramic sharpener or sharpening stone to preserve sharpness and cutting precision. The recommended sharpening angle is 14° on each side of the blade, which is ideal for this premium steel.
- For fine edge refinement, you can use a leather strop or sharpening with a finer grit stone.
- Handle care:
- If you use the knives regularly, it is good to keep the handle clean so it remains in the best possible condition and ensures a secure grip.
- G10 is highly durable, but it is recommended to treat the handle with wood oil if you wish to maintain its appearance and texture.
- Blade care:
- After each use, wash the knife with warm water and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion.
- If you do not use the knife regularly, it is recommended to store it in a dry place and check the edge periodically.
