Maintenance and care
To preserve the long service life of the Muela COL-9R, we recommend cleaning the blade of dirt and drying it thoroughly after each use. Especially after working in wet conditions, it is important not to leave the knife wet for long periods.
For longer storage, it is advisable to apply a thin layer of protective oil to the blade, which will help protect the steel from corrosion. Keep the handle clean and dry, and regularly check the condition of the sheath as well.
To maintain a sharp edge, regularly inspect the blade and sharpen it as needed with a suitable sharpening system. Recommended sharpening system: Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF.
Do not wash the knife in a dishwasher, do not soak it for long periods, and always dry it thoroughly after cleaning. Also avoid prying, chopping hard materials, and other improper stress on the blade.
Store the knife in a dry place, ideally clean and kept in its sheath.
