Introducing how to use and sharpen an army knife!

How to care for and sharpen an army knife?
Let’s touch up (simple sharpening) when the sharpness is getting worse. Apply a stick-shaped sharpener to the blade at an angle of 15 to 20 degrees, and sharpen while maintaining the angle. Sharpen evenly on both sides.
If the sharpness of the wave blade or saw is reduced, do not forcibly sharpen it and bring it to the factory.
The Victorinox bag is also amazing!
So far, we’ve introduced you to Victorinox swiss army knives, but did you know that Victorinox also sells bags? We have a wide range of products from daily use to business and travel. All bags are light and resistant to decay. All the bags are simple but have a storage capacity.
The swiss army knife is a strong EDC ally!
Machine repair is also a handy leather army knife.
A knife that specializes in one function is good, but after all the army knife is a convenient tool. Because it is compact, it solves the problem of carrying around even when touring or mountain climbing.
It’s a secret that you can’t let go of it once you have it as an outdoor partner, because it has excellent functionality that you can reach the itch in case of emergency.
