Possible limitations
BUFALO-17M is a classic fixed hunting knife, so it is not intended for users looking for a lightweight folding EDC knife or a modern tactical model.
Traditional handle materials require proper care and should not be exposed to water or aggressive chemicals for long periods.
The stainless steel used is aimed at a practical combination of durability, corrosion resistance, and easy sharpening. As a result, its edge retention may not match some premium powder steels over the long term.
Maintenance and care
After each use, clean the knife of dirt and moisture and dry it thoroughly.
- Regularly treat the blade with a thin layer of suitable oil, especially before long-term storage.
- Keep the edge maintained with regular, gentle sharpening. To preserve the correct edge geometry, it is important to use a quality sharpening system and maintain the proper angle.
- For edge maintenance we recommend Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF, which is also ideal for plain edges. You can buy this sharpener on our Moskito.cz website.
- Do not use aggressive chemical agents and do not leave the knife in water for long periods.
- If the knife includes a leather sheath, store only a clean and dry knife in it. Protect the sheath from prolonged moisture.
- For longer storage, keep the knife in a dry place and lightly oil the blade.
