Pro Tip & Carving Maintenance: Because the 162 is a double-edged hook knife, maintaining both sides of the blade is essential for a balanced cutting performance. Use a fine-grit slip stone or a diamond-coated honing tool to maintain the internal bevels, ensuring you apply consistent pressure on both edges during sharpening. If you notice the blade "catching" or tearing the grain instead of slicing cleanly, it is a sign that the edges need a quick strop—frequent light stropping will keep your 162 performing at a professional standard for years to come!
