Rust prevention
The Pathfinder is contructed of high-grade stainless steel. Like any other high end stainless steel tool, some rust may form if not properly maintained.
Your Pathfinder should be periodically cleaned, dried and lubricated, especially if your tool has been exposed to saltwater or used in marine environments.
Simply rinse off with fresh water, dry and apply a light coat of oil.
Sharpening
Any knife edge can become blunt over time and with use. We recommend sharpening as required. The blade on your Pathfinder can be sharpened using any standard equipment inluding whetstones, rods etc.
Sharpening angle should be 16 degrees each side.
