Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for MoVa 1.4116 steel?

After use, the blade should be cleaned and thoroughly dried. Despite its good corrosion resistance, moisture, salt, or organic residues should not be left on it. Before long-term storage, a thin layer of preservative can be applied.

How do you sharpen a Drop Point blade?

Guide the edge evenly while maintaining a consistent sharpening angle. Near the tip, reduce pressure and gradually rotate the knife to preserve the original curvature and avoid rounding off the tip.

Once the blade is fully open, a spring-loaded lever on the back of the handle locks the blade in place. To fold the knife, press the lever and carefully begin closing the blade, keeping your fingers out of the way.

How do I care for the black Micarta handle?

Micarta can be cleaned with a soft brush or a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. After cleaning, the handle should be thoroughly dried. Natural variations in texture and shade are a typical characteristic of this material.

How to maintain the pivot of a folding knife?
