How to Clean and Maintain Your Tomahawk
Cleaning Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
