How to clean a pocket knife?
+
−
Open the knife fully, remove dirt with compressed air or a soft brush, and clean with warm soapy water if needed. Dry it thoroughly — especially the pivot and internals — then apply a light coat of oil. For wood or bone handles, avoid soaking and use a suitable conditioner to keep them looking sharp.
How do I sharpen a pocket knife?
+
−
Use a sharpening system suited to your skill level — guided kits like the Spyderco Sharpmaker are great for beginners, while whetstones offer full control. Sharpen at 15–20 degrees per side and finish with finer grits for a polished edge. Test it by slicing paper — a clean cut means you’re there. Need help? Our team can walk you through it.
