• Handmade in Holemdal, Norway since 1932.
• Blade | Sandvik 12C27 is Sandvik's most well-rounded knife steel with excellent edge performance allowing razor sharpness, high hardness, exceptional toughness and good corrosion resistance.

• Handle Length = 3.6"(91mm). Blade Length = 3.5"(90 mm). Blade Thickness = .09"(2.2 mm).
• Genuine Leather Sheath Included with belt loop and Girl Scout Figure stamped into the leather.

Maintenance:

• The Handle. Dry the handle with a soft cloth if wet and wax occasionally.
• The Sheath. The leather needs to be impregnated occasionally with colourless impregnation agent (grease or wax) to keep supple. Dry the sheath carefully in room temperature if it becomes wet
• The Blade. Wipe the blade with a soft cloth if wet and treat with grease occasionally.

Sharpening
Use a diamond tool or a wet stone for sharpening. Place the knife bevel flat to the sharpening tool and work the entire blade. Work one side until you can feel a slight burr on the opposite side. Switch side and repeat the procedure until you feel the burr on the first side. You have now established an edge.

Remove the burr by stroking the blade gently over the sharpening surface on both sides, as if cutting very thin slices. Keep the bevel flat towards the sharpener and move from side to side until the burr is gone.
