Maintenance and care
After use, dry and clean the blade, especially if it has come into contact with moisture or salt. Regularly check the cleanliness and attachment points of the handle and sheath. Maintain the edge with light sharpening so it stays sharp and ready for use.
To preserve edge performance and proper geometry, we recommend using quality sharpening systems with precise angle control.
For edge maintenance, we recommend the Spyderco Tri‑Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF – ideal for plain edges as well. 🛒 Available on our website Moskito.cz.
