Knife Maintenance Information

Your Microtech Knife is considered a cutting tool of the highest quality designed to serve you long and well. Below we have outlined the Knife Care steps for you that we suggest. If you follow these simple steps your knife will last you for many years. Also, if you don't follow these steps, you could void your warranty.

• Cleaning: Your Microtech knife is made of premium grade high carbon stainless steel wherein edge holding is favored over rust-resistance. Minimal care is required in order to prevent rust and corrosion. Please clean your knife by using an air compressor with a blow tip.

• Lubrication: An occasional drop or two of Rem™ Oil or another high quality Teflon® based formula oil into the pivot pin or choil area will keep the action of your knife working smoothly and efficiently.

• Avoid Abuse: Never use your knife as a punch, chisel, prybar, or screwdriver. Never throw your knife, it was not designed for that purpose. Never try to sharpen your knife on a power driven grinding wheel. This can burn the temper from the blade and completely destroy the ability to hold a fine edge, thus voiding the warranty. It is also best not to use a "drag-through" type sharpener or any sharpener designed for inexpensive cutlery.

• Storage: You may store your knife in either an open or closed position.
