Maintenance tools and products

How do I choose the best maintenance product?

A knife is like a car: it runs more smoothly and lasts longer with proper maintenance. Start by asking yourself: what kind of knife do I want to maintain? A pocket knife with moving parts requires different maintenance products than a fixed kitchen knife. Think of high-quality maintenance oils such as Sentry Solutions Tuf-Glide or Ballistol, which prevent rust and lubricate at the same time. What if your knife is slightly harder to open than before? Then you probably need a good lubricant. Do it properly, and your knife will feel like new again.

Don't forget your accessories

Maintenance tools and products are not just for knives. Wooden cutting boards, for example, require a nourishing oil, such as mineral oil or balm, to prevent drying out. And multi-tools regularly need soapy water and a drop of oil to keep working smoothly. Don't forget your screwdrivers: with the right tools, you can safely dismantle blades for thorough maintenance without causing damage. In short: investing in good maintenance products means investing in long-term enjoyment of your gear.
