Let's keep our knives in the highest possible quality

2. ledna 2023

Christmas is traditionally a time when many of us find one of our coveted Mikov knives under the Christmas tree as a gift. However, hunting knives, military knives, sports knives, chef's knives or craft knives want their own. So to keep them happy for a long time, we must not only use them with care and consideration, but also follow these three simple recommendations on how to care for knives.

1. Keep knives sharp
Every knife gets dull with use - and cutting with a dull knife is not only inefficient and laborious, but also dangerous. For instructions on how to sharpen your knives properly, click here.

2. Keepi knives clean
It's not just that a dirty knife doesn't look nice, it's that it also says something about its owner
unpleasant things about its owner. Prolonged exposure to dirt also damages the material structure of the blade and the blade. Of course, we don't use the dishwasher on our knives because aggressive cleaning agents erode the blades, but we always wash them thoroughly with warm water and wipe them dry after use.

3. Store knives carefully
Knives should be stored dry and ideally in the supplied sheaths so that their blades do not come into contact with other metal objects or other knives. Scratched blades and teeth on the blades are not a good sign of the owner. When storing the knives for a long time, it is advisable to treat the metal parts with an oil specially designed for knives.
