For those of you that have purchased a knife and sheath from Knix Knives. Here are some quick tips on knife and sheath care.
Treat knife sheath properly with some leather conditioner
Avoid using shoe polish because it will rub off on your clothes whenever you wear the sheath.
After using your knife, it is a good practice to clean and dry your knife, Wash knife with warm water and soap, pat dry with soft cloth.
Do not store knives in their sheaths for more than a week at a time. The leather collects moisture and creates pits/rust on the blade.
Since the air in places like coastal regions has a higher than normal moisture content, with some salt mixed in, it is important to keep the surface of the blade lightly coated with a film of oil.
The oil will prevent the moist air from coming into contact with the blade steel.
Any household grade lubricating oil will suffice. Cooking spray comes to mind.
