Clean after use: Wipe the blade clean after each use to remove dirt, sap, or plant material.

Dry thoroughly: Always dry the blade thoroughly after cleaning, especially if it’s been in contact with moisture. This helps prevent any rust or corrosion from forming.

Oil the blade: Regularly oil the blade with tallow or vegetable oil to protect it from rust. Apply a thin layer of oil to the blade and wipe off any excess.

Sharpen as needed: Over time, the blade may need to be sharpened. Use a sharpening stone or diamond sharpener to maintain the edge. Be sure to maintain the original convex shape for optimal performance.

Store properly: Keep your whittler in its leather sheath when not in use to protect the blade from damage and to prevent it from getting lost. Store it in a dry, cool place.
