Store the tools in the provided box, ensuring the blades do not contact any hard surfaces to maintain their sharpness. Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidents. Regular honing will keep the blades in optimal condition for continued precision work.

Tools with a square ferrules have adjustable blades. To adjust the blade, pivot the top half of the handle on the hinge pin after removing the brass bolster from the handle with pliers or a similar tool to expose the shank and blade. Lift the blade upwards to separate it from the handle then proceed to sharpen it using a whetstone. You can detach back the blade to its original position or a higher position if it has been ground down at increments of one centimeter each to ensure that the tool remains strong by minimizing the anchor points in the wood being made. Adding adhesives or lubricants is not needed as the handle provides enough friction to hold the blade in place. This tool should still post excellent performance even after the blade has been worn out up to two times its original size during a purchase when used with proper care. Contact the manufacturer for a replacement in the case that the hook is damaged.

Please keep in mind that this quality wood carving tool with with blade narrower than 3mm are extremely fine and should only be handled with great caution. Please follow the guidelines below to avoid breaking or bending the blade.
