Care & Maintenance
Keep It Clean: Wipe blade after use; blow out pocket lint from the OTF channel.
Light Lube: A drop of quality knife oil on the blade and mechanism sustains smooth action.
Edge Touch-Ups: Use a fine ceramic or diamond stone; maintain the factory bevel for best cutting performance.
Preserve the Finish: Avoid harsh abrasives; use a soft cloth on the Cerakote flag graphic.
Safety & Legal Notes
Know the Law: OTF knives are regulated in some jurisdictions. Verify local carry and ownership regulations before purchasing or carrying.

FAQ
Q: What’s the advantage of a tanto blade for EDC?
A: The reinforced tip handles tougher piercing tasks and controlled scoring, while the long primary edge gives you excellent slicing capability.

Q: Can I disassemble the OTF mechanism?
A: Many OTFs are factory-tuned; disassembly can affect reliability and may void warranties. Routine exterior cleaning and light lubrication are recommended.
Q: Is the FS-3 size good for pocket carry?
A: Yes—the 3" blade / 5" handle combo provides capable performance in a compact, pocketable package.
