{Information}Care Instructions
Clean and dry knife after use with a non abrasive cloth.
If leather becomes wet, dry at room tempertaure. Do not leave in direct sunlight.
To maintain suppleness of the sheath, impregnate leather with non-acidic leather grease or wax perioduically.
Sharpen knife with whetstone or diamond sharpener. Never use a grinding wheel to sharpen knives, as it is likely to damage the blade beyond repair.
This knife is designed by survival expert Les Stroud. It uses sleipner, which is a high-alloy tool steel that offers a good balance between toughness and edge retention.
The Wabakimi comes with a half-full tang construction, where the blade steel is visible all along the spine of the handle, but not towards the fingers, making it better to use in cold climates. The spine also works well as a striker for ferro rods.
If exposed to water or humidity, the knife will rust over time, so wipe down and re-oil after use.
Includes a leather sheath.
