1. Quick Wipe Down
After you’re done, just brush or wipe off any sawdust or sap. No fancy cleaning
routine needed.
2. Keep It Dry
If the blade gets wet, dry it before folding or sheathing.
3. Light Oil (Now and Then)
Every so often, give the blade a quick spray with a household oil (WD-40 or
CRC). That’s it, nothing constant. Lanolin will work great and is widely available
4. Swap the Blade When Needed Or Resharpen
Silky blades are super tough, but when the teeth finally dull, just pop on a new blade.
OR
The Katana is one of the few Silky Saws that can be filed. A special file is required as a normal one is too soft and will just make a mess of things. (special files are coming to stock soon)
