A quick wipe of mineral oil across the camel bone and pakkawood handle sections once a year will keep the natural materials hydrated, vibrant, and beautifully lustrous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStorage Best Practices:\u003c\/b\u003e For long-term care, store your knife in a dry place outside of its custom leather sheath if it won't be fielded for several months.
