Cleaning and Maintenance of the Viking Axe
- Post-Use Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blade clean with a soft cloth to remove dirt, moisture, and debris.
- Prevent Rust: Carbon steel can rust if exposed to moisture. Apply a light coat of oil (such as mineral oil or gun oil) to the blade to prevent corrosion.
- Handle Care: Wipe the ash wood handle with a damp cloth, ensuring it remains dry to prevent cracking or warping. Apply linseed oil occasionally to maintain its luster.
- Blade Sharpening: Maintain the edge by using a sharpening stone or file. Follow the original convex grind for optimal performance.
- Storage: Store the axe in its leather sheath in a dry, cool place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or humidity.
- Leather Sheath Care: Clean the leather sheath with a damp cloth and condition it with leather oil or balm to prevent cracking.
Proper care ensures the longevity and pristine condition of your Viking axe set for years to come!
