The core of maintenance for carving tools is "rust prevention, sharpness preservation, and collision prevention". A few simple steps can extend the service life of the tools and ensure the carving feel. Clean immediately after use, wipe the blade and handle with a soft cloth to remove wood chips and oil stains, and avoid residual substances corroding the blade. Do not use a hard brush to vigorously wipe to prevent scratching the blade.

    After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry. If not used for a long time, apply a small amount of edible oil or special rust proof oil to the blade, evenly cover the blade surface, isolate the air, prevent moisture and rust. In terms of sharpness maintenance, avoid using cutting tools to cut hard objects. After each use, gently grind the edge with a fine grinding stone to remove small curled edges and maintain sharpness.

    When storing, it should be classified and placed to avoid collisions between cutting tools. Sheath, knife box, or hanging knife holder can be used to keep the blade away from hard objects. In addition, avoid placing the cutting tools in damp and high-temperature environments to prevent cracking of the handle and rusting of the blade. Daily maintenance should be carried out with "frequent cleaning, rust prevention, light polishing, and skillful storage" to keep the carving tools in good condition for a long time.
