Possible limitations

  • In some countries, owning or carrying OTF knives is restricted by law.
  • The mechanism requires regular cleaning and maintenance to preserve reliability.

Maintenance and care

Clean and dry the blade after each use.

From time to time, apply a small amount of oil to the mechanism track and pivot.

Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or compressed air.

For titanium parts, avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.

🔪 To maintain a sharp edge, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF – ideal for plain edges as well. 🛒 Available on our website Moskito.cz.
