It focuses on traditional camp tasks with a thinner blade profile and leather sheath system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I maintain the 1095 carbon steel blade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the blade clean and dry after use. The carbon steel will develop a patina over time, which actually helps prevent rust. Oil the blade lightly for long-term storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the leather sheath be worn on a belt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the leather pouch design allows for belt carry and can be positioned for different carry preferences based on your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this suitable for batoning wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 0.125-inch thickness makes this better suited for slicing tasks rather than heavy splitting. Use appropriate technique if processing small kindling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esee Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43773950787683,"sku":"29724","price":183.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/29724.jpg?v=1760240943","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/camp-lore-pr4-black-oxide-29724","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
