Dry thoroughly to prevent surface oxidation. Avoid prolonged soaking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRust prevention: 80CrV2 is a high-carbon steel and benefits from regular oiling. Apply a thin film of gun oil, mineral oil, or food-safe blade oil before storage or after exposure to moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpening: Maintain the edge with a medium-to-fine stone or guided system. 80CrV2 takes a keen edge — use 400–1000 grit for repairs and 3000–8000 grit for finishing. Stropping restores a polished edge between sharpenings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle care: Micarta requires minimal upkeep — clean with mild soap and water, avoid harsh solvents, and dry thoroughly. A light coat of food-safe mineral oil keeps it looking rich; minor surface wear can be smoothed out with fine sandpaper if desired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath care: Kydex — wash with mild soap and water and dry. A light coat of mineral oil keeps the Kydex looking new and helps prevent rust on the UltiClip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Store in a dry, ventilated area. For long-term storage, apply a protective oil coating to the blade and avoid sealed plastic containers that trap moisture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll of our knives are named for cryptids. The Afanc is Wales's lake monster — part beaver, part crocodile, said to drag livestock and the unwary into the deep pools of the River Conwy. One legend claims it took a team of oxen to finally chain it and haul it out of the water for good. It never went quietly. Neither does this blade.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackalope Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44039590019137,"sku":"SQ1924255","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8895\/0593\/files\/file_33698870-c698-42b0-ac60-b6c431dc515c.jpg?v=1791675856","url":"https:\/\/jackalopeknives.com\/products\/afanc","provider":"Jackalope Knives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
