Use and Maintenance

CPM 20CV is a technical steel known for its hardness and wear resistance: careful sharpening, ideally entrusted to a professional, is recommended to preserve optimal performance. The glow-in-the-dark coating requires direct exposure to a light source to restore its glow; simply carrying it in your pocket during the day is not enough to charge it effectively. Regular maintenance of the mechanism (cleaning and light lubrication of the pivot) will help maintain smooth opening over time. A custom engraving option is available, ideal for identified professional use or to offer a unique piece.
