Care & Maintenance

A high-quality knife deserves proper care. With the right maintenance, your Puma Classic Lockback Folding Pocket Knife will stay sharp, smooth, and beautiful for years — whether you’re using it outdoors, at work, or carrying it daily. Follow this complete care guide to protect the blade, the handle, and the sheath so your knife performs at its best every time.

1. Blade Care

Clean After Every Use

Wipe the blade with a soft, dry cloth after each use. If needed, wash briefly with mild soap and warm water — but never soak the blade.

Dry Thoroughly

Moisture can dull or stain steel. Always dry the blade immediately, especially before folding or storing it.

Oil the Blade (Lightly)

Apply a few drops of mineral oil or knife oil. This keeps the stainless steel smooth, prevents rust, and preserves long-term performance.

Sharpen the Right Way

Use a whetstone (1000–6000 grit) for the sharpest, cleanest edge. Avoid pull-through sharpeners — they can damage the blade bevel over time.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

No bleach, abrasive powders, or strong detergents. These can dull the finish and weaken the steel.

2. Pivot & Lock Mechanism Care

Oil the Pivot Occasionally

A single drop of lubricant on the pivot keeps the folding action smooth and reduces wear.

Keep Dirt Out

If dust or debris collects inside the lockback or pivot, clean gently with compressed air or a cotton swab.

Open & Close Smoothly

Don’t “snap” the blade shut aggressively. Controlled closing protects the mechanism and prolongs its life.

3. Wooden Handle Care

Avoid Prolonged Moisture

The wood is sealed, but it can still be damaged by soaking. Wipe immediately if wet.

Condition Occasionally

Use a tiny amount of wood oil, such as linseed or mineral oil, to prevent the handle from drying out and to maintain its smooth feel.

Avoid Extreme Heat

Do not leave your knife in a hot vehicle or direct sunlight for long periods — heat can dry or warp the wood.

4. Leather Sheath Care

Keep the Sheath Dry

If it gets wet, allow it to air-dry naturally. Do not use heaters or direct sunlight.

Condition the Leather

Apply a leather balm or beeswax every few months to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness.

Do Not Store a Damp Blade in the Sheath

Leather traps moisture. Always dry and oil your blade before sheathing.
