Maintenance?
on: October 27, 2016, 11:41:46 PM
I got a little classic sd and I'm now upgrading to a Super Tinker... I need some tips on how to care for them properly... never did anything, not even sharpened my classic but I know it isn't healthy to do that lol
actually it has some green stuff inside it, where the tools are kept, rust maybe?
any tips on sharpening, cleaning, oiling and stuff?

thanks!

I use hand diswashing detergent. If it's green, it's not rust. It's either copper oxide from the brass, or it's that abundant earth element Crudmium. It should scrub out without too much trouble.

After cleaning, lubricate with mineral oil. Mineral oil is cheap, food-safe, and works well.
