🔪 General Care:
- Keep the blade clean and dry after use

🔥 Damascus & High Carbon Steel:
- These steels are not stainless — they require extra care

🧊 Stainless Steel Blades:
- More resistant to rust, but still benefit from proper care

Arkansas Knife – A Timeless Collectible with Frontier Legacy
The Arkansas Knife isn’t just a blade—it’s a piece of American history.
