 | All
high carbon steels will discolor and rust if proper care is not
taken. When not in use the tool should be kept clean and
dry. Simple wipe the tool off after each use. |
| Do not leave
tools soaking in water or slurry for extended periods of time. |
| Periodically applying a light coat of oil to both the steel and wood
handle is recommended. |
| If your Dolan Tool, after heavy work,
begins to show signs of becoming dull, it may be resharpened. DO
NOT USE A POWER GRINDER. This will heat the steel, changing the
temper and destroying it. Best sharpening results can be obtained
from using a whetstone (oil or water) and after a few strokes the edge
should be returned to its normal keenness. We also recommend
against using files. Dolan Tools will take a razor sharp edge so
exercise caution! |
| Dolan tools love to work hard! Give them a
little attention and they will reward you by giving you a long and
productive life. |
