Maintenance Pro Tip: To keep your N°09 operating smoothly, ensure the handle is kept dry, as natural wood can expand slightly when exposed to heavy moisture. A quick wipe-down with a dry cloth after use is all that is required to keep the stainless steel blade in pristine condition. If you find the pivot becomes a little stiff, a tiny drop of mineral oil will restore its signature smooth action, ensuring your knife remains a faithful companion for years to come.
