Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Sharpening & Care Accessories
1) How often should I sharpen my hunting knives?
The frequency of sharpening depends on both the use and the material: hide, bone, or wood put more strain on the blade than normal fat or muscle tissue. Check the edge regularly and sharpen as needed, preferably more frequently in short sessions rather than infrequently and intensively. This will save you time and material.
2) How do I sharpen a hunting blade correctly?
Maintain the correct angle (typically around 15–22 degrees, depending on the knife). Slowly draw the blade across the stone or scraper with even pressure. Occasionally strop the blade; do not jerk it back and forth. The total time depends on the condition of the blade. You can color the edge with a permanent marker to check that you are maintaining the sharpening angle. Puma also offers sharpening stones such as the Belgian Blue Whetstone and the Arkansas Oilstone for this purpose.
3) How do I care for wooden handles after use?
First wipe clean, then allow the surfaces to dry. Afterwards, rub in a suitable oil such as PUMA Sharpening Oil or Bear Fat . Allow the oil to soak in and wipe off any excess. Avoid standing water. (Many food-grade oils such as olive oil, rapeseed oil, and sunflower oil tend to go rancid. Linseed oil poses a fire hazard if handled improperly!)
4) What is metal polish used for in practice?
PUMA metal polish gently removes stubborn signs of wear and gives a shine without damaging the knife. It is particularly suitable for brass and nickel silver to remove oxidation marks (green discoloration or tarnished precious metals).
5) Are there any specific tips for supplies while out in the field?
Yes! The PUMA Mini knife sharpener for your luggage, the ISTOR , or the new PUMA – Tec SharpGo as a compact sharpening option, possibly supplemented with a leather strop. Our recommendation is the XADR – an elegant and high-quality sharpening option as an alternative to inexpensive honing steels.
6) How do I store my knives correctly?
Knives should be stored clean, dry, and protected from light if possible. It is important to store knives outside of leather sheaths, as the tannins in the leather can damage the knife if stored for extended periods, especially in humid conditions!
Can I have my knives professionally sharpened?
Yes, at PUMA we offer a sharpening voucher with which we will sharpen your knives professionally and expertly.
