To preserve the elegant design of the black lacquered aluminum scabbard and handle of the Marto Wakizashi for years to come, please observe the following care instructions: - Cleaning the scabbard: To clean the lacquered aluminum surface, use only a soft cloth and, if necessary, a little mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaning agents, solvents, or abrasive substances (such as pumice powder), as these can damage or scratch the lacquer.
- Drying: After cleaning, wipe the surfaces with a dry, soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Handle care: Because the handle is wrapped with black braided cord, it should be protected from excessive moisture. Dust can be carefully removed with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth.
- Blade: The stainless steel blade is easy to care for and will not rust, but should also be wiped clean with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints.
