How to Clean and Maintain Your Tomahawk

Cleaning Instructions:

1. After Each Use:
   • Wipe the blade clean with a soft cloth to remove dirt, moisture, and sap.
   • For stubborn residue, gently scrub using warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.
2. Avoid Prolonged Moisture:
   • Dry the blade and handle immediately after washing to prevent rust on the carbon steel blade and cracking of the wooden handle.
3. Leather Sheath Care:
   • Use a damp cloth to clean the leather sheath. Avoid soaking it in water.
   • Apply leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness.

Maintenance Tips:

• Prevent Rust:
  • Apply a thin layer of mineral oil or gun oil to the blade after cleaning to protect against corrosion.
  • Store in a dry, cool place. Avoid leaving the tomahawk in the leather sheath for extended periods, as leather retains moisture.
• Handle Care:
  • Polish the rosewood handle with a wood oil or wax to preserve its finish and prevent drying out.
• Sharpening the Blade:
  • Use a whetstone or sharpening tool to maintain the blade’s convex edge.
  • Follow the original bevel angle while sharpening for the best results.

By following these steps, your Carbon Steel Viking Tomahawk will stay functional and aesthetically pleasing for years to come!
