Knife Maintenance

Sanrenmu has always been extremely cautious in selecting materials. We exclusively apply the materials of finest stability and extraordinary performance, which makes Sanrenmu knives high-premium cutting tools. Even though the quality of our products is surely guaranteed, proper care is still necessary given the fact that all of the materials used in cutlery manufacturing are subject to vagaries of time, temperature, light moisture and oxidants. Actually, dull knives tend to be ineffective and potentially more dangerous for use than sharp ones. Regular maintenance could ensure flawless performance delivery and maintain the piece in refined shape.

Always make sure the locking chamber of your knife is free of dirt and debris that would compromise the safety mechanism. It is advisable to clean this area with compressed air and lubricating with special lubricant.

Most of our blade steels are featured with very high carbon content which enables these blades to hold sharpness for quite a long time. However, this additive can cause rust too, especially when blades are exposed to a humid or marine environment. Thus, a preventive care is strongly recommended. A fine grade, semi-chrome polish would just be fine. It could wipe down the blade and simultaneously add an invisible coating for added corrosion protection without leaving any oily film which may attract dirt and debris.

Besides, don’t leave your knife idle for too long. A knife owner is supposed to lubricate the components of their knives periodically to keep the pieces in smooth operating condition. The whole cleaning process should be done with warm water, and air dried thoroughly in a cool place. Sanrenmu knives are exclusively designed for cutting. Any attempt of using them as an alternative of screwdriver, pry-bar, chisel, punch, or throwing gadget is regarded as the abuse of knife which would not be covered under Sanrenmu warranty, and hence must be avoided. Knife owners should not sharpen their knives on a power-grinding machine either, as it would compromise the temper of our blades and ruin the product integrity. Never bother to disassembly these knives should they have any functioning problem. You are free to mail them back to our company. We are quite ready to provide the professional knife care service for you.

Above all, enjoy your new knife, and make sure you are fully aware of the safety instructions before using it. Thanks again for choosing Sanrenmu. We are always dedicated to making the finest civil knife in the world.
