Knife Care

Caring for your hunting knife is crucial for any rancher in the rugged frontier. It is vital for its durability and optimal performance in the wild west. After each use, clean the blade thoroughly with mild soap and warm water, using a soft brush to remove debris without compromising the edge. Swiftly dry your knife by hand, paying attention to the handle and tang.
Next, apply a thin coat of trusty mineral oil or a specialized Rancher blades approved knife oil. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and corrosion, especially during those dusty days on the trail.
Before oiling, make sure the blade is as clean as a mountain stream cutting through untouched wilderness. Use a soft cloth to evenly coat the blade with a small amount of oil, paying attention to both sides. This not only helps prevent rust but also adds a layer of protection against the elements. Remember to wipe off any excess oil to avoid attracting more dust than a cattle drive.
These practices, in addition to your regular honing and sharpening, will ensure your blade remains your reliable partner in your rugged outdoor adventures. Saddle up, partner, and let your trusty blade be as sharp as your cowboy wit.
