Cleaning and Maintenance of the Double-Edged Viking Axe:

1. Clean After Use: After every use, wipe the blade with a soft cloth to remove dirt, moisture, or debris. If the axe has been exposed to sap or sticky substances, use warm, soapy water.
2. Dry Thoroughly: Always dry the blade and handle completely after cleaning to prevent rusting, especially on the Damascus steel.
3. Oil the Blade: Apply a thin layer of oil (mineral oil or gun oil) to the blade after cleaning to protect it from corrosion. Damascus steel requires regular oiling to maintain its appearance and strength.
4. Sharpen Regularly: Use a whetstone or sharpening tool to maintain the edge. Ensure you maintain the flat grind while sharpening.
5. Handle Care: The Damascus handle can be lightly oiled to keep it from drying out and cracking. Be mindful of any rough spots or damage.
6. Sheath Storage: Store the axe in its vegetable-tanned leather sheath when not in use, but avoid long-term storage in the sheath as leather can retain moisture.
7. Avoid Harsh Environments: Don’t leave the axe in humid or damp conditions for prolonged periods.
