Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This set requires minimal setup. Upon receiving the set, it is recommended to inspect each tool and the sharpening stone. For optimal performance, consider sharpening the blades before first use, especially if a very fine edge is desired.
Compatibility:
This set is designed for manual wood carving. The tools are compatible with most types of softwood and some hardwoods, depending on the sharpness and user technique. The sharpening stone is compatible with all steel carving tools.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades with a dry cloth to remove wood dust and sap. Avoid using water, as it can lead to rust.
- Sharpening: Regularly sharpen the blades using the included sharpening stone or a finer grit stone for a razor-sharp edge. Ensure the sharpening angle is consistent.
- Storage: Store the tools in a dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a tool roll, to protect the blades and prevent accidental cuts. Ensure the blades are dry before storing.
- Handle Care: Wipe the Ramin handles with a dry or slightly damp cloth if needed. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
