Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for Niolox steel?
After use, clean and dry the blade. For long-term storage, apply a thin layer of a suitable preservative.
How do I sharpen a Drop Point?
Maintain a consistent sharpening angle along the entire length of the edge and reduce pressure near the tip.
How does the Crossbar Lock work?
The crossbar locks the blade in place when it is opened, and pulling it back on either side releases the mechanism.
How do you clean the Dark Matter Carbon Fiber?
It is best to wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could dull the composite.
How do I maintain the pivot?
The pivot should be cleaned regularly and, if necessary, a small amount of light lubricant should be applied.
