Like all good stainless steel for cutting, our special alloy
combines high resistance to corrosion with a rich carbon content
to facilitate hardness and sharpness. However, this carbon content
results in a certain sensitivity to acids and salt. Accordingly
we recommend a good cleaning after use in water, in a
saline medium, or in acidic fruit.
We also recommend, in the interest of good operation, the application
of a little AITOR-OIL to the springs and friction areas.Each
part has its function. The blade should not be used for
opening cans or uncorking bottles. Nor should it be used
for levering, launching, or striking.A half-open piece exerts
maximum pressure on the spring, hence it is advisable not to
have two pieces activated by the one spring, which could break
under the tension.We recommend that at regular intervals
you use a good metal polisher on the brass or nickel parts,
since they are highly sensitive to the medium they come in contact
with.
