    Hope you enjoy the endura, it's great for food preparation!
    I'll be using mine mainly for food prep.

    How do you clean your blade after?
    Dish washing liquid and water?

    If I don't get the pivot dirty, would I still need to apply oil to the blade after?

    Dish washing liquid and lukewarm water. It is not necessary to oil the blade but it is necessary to clean and oil the pivot once in a while. Please read up on reassembly - it can be tricky.

    I try try not get the pivot dirty, and if you don't you just need to clean the blade. I either rinse with water or if it's really dirty I'll use dish washing liquid. If you do get the pivot dirty you can still wash the whole knife and depending on how rough the opening is just apply oil as needed. I use this Victorinox multi tool oil I found at sharp edge (it was like 80 bucks), it's food safe, has a nice fine tip to get into the pivot and nice small bottle to carry in an EDC kit.

    I really wouldnt reccomend disassembly, everything is under tension. I have had trouble with the pivot before where I managed to get sea sand in it. I just loosened the pivot enough and sprayed WD40 until it was dripping, then rinsed with soap and water. I repeated this process until it was smooth and re oiled with food safe oil.


    Hope this helps!

    Nice pic. Love that you got matching colours. Looks like a set. Wish I thought of that.

    Different steel. Way more expensive.
