Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
1. Cleaning After Use:
- Wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt, sap, or moisture.
- For stubborn residue, use mild soap and warm water, then dry immediately to prevent rust.
2. Preventing Rust:
- Regularly apply a thin layer of mineral oil or a dedicated blade oil to the blade to protect it from moisture and oxidation.
- Store the axe in a dry place, ideally in its leather sheath, to shield it from humidity.
