Cleaning and Maintenance
- Cleaning the Blade:
- After each use, wipe the blade with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, sap, or moisture.
- For tougher stains or residue, use mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the blade.
- Rinse the blade and dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Maintaining the Edge:
- Regularly hone the blade using a whetstone or sharpening tool to maintain its sharpness. Use a sharpening angle of approximately 20 degrees.
- If the edge becomes damaged or dull, reprofile it on a grinding wheel before honing.
- Handle Care:
- Inspect the handle for any signs of wear or damage. If it appears dry, apply a light coat of mineral oil or wood conditioner to preserve the wood and leather wrap.
- Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight, as this can lead to cracking or fading of the handle materials.
- Storing the Axe:
- Store the axe in a cool, dry place, preferably in its vegetable leather sheath to protect the blade.
- Avoid storing in damp areas, as moisture can lead to rust and deterioration of both blade and handle.
