Possible limitations

  • high price due to premium materials

Maintenance and care

After use, clean and dry the blade, especially if the knife has been exposed to a humid environment. Keep the Axis® mechanism clean and occasionally lubricate it lightly with a suitable knife oil. The carbon fiber handle only needs to be kept free of deep dirt and dust deposits.

For sharpening, we recommend the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker, which is ideal for precise edge maintenance on premium steels.
