Important Notes
To maintain peak performance, regular cleaning and care are essential. After use—especially in dusty or wet environments—rinse the tools gently with warm water. If blades or tools begin to stick, open and close them several times in warm water to loosen debris. Once dry, apply a small drop of oil between the blade or tool shank and the spring to ensure smooth deployment. For the locking mechanism, use Victorinox-recommended Swiss Army Knife Oil periodically to preserve functionality. Never place this knife in a dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the tools, handle, and internal components. To re-sharpen the blades, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°–20°, resulting in a cutting angle of 30°–40°. If using a grinding wheel, always cool the blade with plenty of water to prevent overheating and potential damage to the steel.
