Safety + Care
SlipJoint Knife Safety (Short Version)
- NEVER try to catch a knife with an exposed blade.
- Don’t pierce anything, especially with pressure. Slip joint knives don’t lock open. Piercing cuts are a great way to have the knife fold over on your fingers.
- Open and close carefully with two hands, keeping fingers out of the blade’s path.
- Make sure the blade is fully open before using it — slip joints do not lock.
- Do not pry, twist, or force the blade.
- Always cut away from your body and keep your other hand clear.
- If the blade binds or sticks, stop to avoid accidental closure.
- Carry the knife closed in a dedicated pocket or slip. Lightly oil the pivot periodically.
- Don’t use the knife if knife feels loose, gritty, or unstable. Stop use until it is cleaned or inspected.
- Keep it clean, dry.
- Avoid using the knife when distracted or tired. Take extra care if you do use it.
- Store closed and out of reach of children.
Slip-Joint Knife Care
Either carry the knife in a slip or carry in a pocket by itself – no keys, coins, etc…
- Keep it clean & dry. Lightly oil the pivot periodically. Mineral oil works very nicely. No need for specialty oil.
- Don’t use the knife as a screw driver, pry bar, etc…. It is only for making cuts.
- We at Hendrix Classics & Co. provide three years of free sharpening services – you only payfor shipping. We will send you a discounted shipping label.
- Store the knife closed, clean, and dry.
- Avoid leaving the knife in damp environments that can weaken springs or cause rust.
