Technical data

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 factory curvature of the profile and avoid rounding off the tip.

How does the Slip Joint mechanism work?

The Slip Joint uses a spring to hold the blade in the open and closed positions, but it does not lock the blade in place like a traditional lock. When using the knife, avoid applying pressure to the spine of the blade and always be mindful of where your fingers are.

How do you care for a deer antler handle?

Clean the antler with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Do not soak the handle for long periods or use harsh detergents, abrasives, or direct heat.

How do you maintain the leather case?

The case should be protected from prolonged exposure to moisture and dried at room temperature. Periodically, you can apply a product designed for natural leather, taking care to avoid over-oiling the interior that comes into contact with the knife.
