Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your D2 Steel Tactical Tracker knife, follow these cleaning and maintenance tips:

1. Cleaning:
   • After each use, clean the blade with warm, soapy water to remove dirt, debris, and moisture. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the blade finish.
   • Rinse and dry the knife thoroughly to prevent rust and corrosion.
2. Sharpening:
   • Regularly check the blade for sharpness. Use a whetstone or sharpening system specifically designed for D2 steel to maintain the edge.
   • Sharpen at the appropriate angle (typically around 20 degrees) for optimal cutting performance.
3. Handle Care:
   • Wipe the handle with a damp cloth to remove any oils or residue. Avoid soaking the handle in water, as this can damage the epoxy resin.
   • If the handle appears dull or faded, consider applying a small amount of mineral oil to restore its sheen.
4. Sheath Maintenance:
   • Clean the vegetable-tanned leather sheath with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent cracking.
   • Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the sheath supple and prevent drying out.
5. Storage:
   • Store the knife in a dry environment, preferably in its sheath, to protect the blade and handle. Avoid leaving it exposed to moisture, which can lead to rust.

By following these uses and cleaning instructions, your D2 Steel Tactical Tracker knife will remain a reliable companion for all your outdoor adventures!
