Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions:

1. Clean the Axe Head:
   • After each use, wipe down the axe head with a dry cloth to remove debris, sap, or moisture.
   • For any stubborn dirt, use a brush or fine steel wool gently to scrub the surface.
   • Apply a light coat of oil (e.g., linseed oil or motor oil) on the steel to prevent rust.
2. Sharpen the Edge:
   • Regularly inspect the blade for sharpness. Sharpen the cutting edge using a sharpening stone or file when needed.
   • Sharpen in a consistent motion along the edge, maintaining the correct angle.
3. Handle Care:
   • Periodically rub the ash wood handle with linseed oil to maintain its strength, prevent drying, and protect it from the elements.
   • Inspect the handle for cracks or splinters, and sand any rough areas with fine-grit sandpaper.
4. Leather Cover Care:
   • Keep the leather cover dry and free from moisture. Occasionally treat the leather with leather conditioner to prevent cracking and ensure flexibility.
   • Store the axe in its cover when not in use to protect the blade and prevent accidental damage.

By following these steps, you’ll extend the life and performance of the axe for years to come.
