Key parameters

- 🔴 Limitations
- Not intended for heavy-duty abuse: Although durable, the construction is designed as a slicer – not for prying or levering
- Requires regular sharpening: CPM Cru-Wear holds an edge for a long time, but with repeated use it requires maintenance
Maintenance and care
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the pivot area and lock; a dry cloth and iodine solution will help with durability
- Lubrication: Adding a drop of oil to the pivot and lock ensures long-term smooth operation
Sharpening: For the plain edge, a standard water stone or ceramic sharpener is sufficient – resharpening is simple thanks to the full-flat grind
