Possible limitations

Maintenance and care
After use, clean and dry the blade, especially after working in a damp environment. Regularly check the cleanliness of the lock and opening mechanism. Maintain the edge with consistent sharpening so it retains its aggressive cutting properties.
To preserve the correct geometry and performance of the recurve blade, we recommend a quality sharpening system with precise angle guidance.
An ideal choice is the Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF, which allows safe, controlled, and consistent sharpening even on curved edges. Suitable both for routine maintenance and for restoring the edge after demanding use.
