Product Care

At New Friends Industries, we are committed to providing you with high-quality hunting and outdoor camping tools. To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your products made from iron, stainless steel, and Damascus steel, please follow these care instructions:

  1. General Care
  • Cleaning: After each use, clean your tools with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that can scratch the surface.
  • Drying: Always dry your tools thoroughly after cleaning to prevent rust and corrosion. Use a soft towel to wipe away moisture.
  1. Iron Products
  • Rust Prevention: Iron tools are prone to rust if not cared for properly. To prevent rust, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil or mineral oil to the surface after cleaning.
  • Storage: Store in a dry environment. Consider using a protective sheath or case to keep them safe from moisture and damage.
  1. Stainless Steel Products
  • Maintenance: Stainless steel is resistant to rust, but it can still tarnish. To maintain its shine, use a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.
  • Avoiding Stains: Do not leave acidic or salty foods on stainless steel surfaces for extended periods, as they can cause discoloration.
  1. Damascus Steel Products
  • Unique Characteristics: Damascus steel tools may develop a patina over time, which can enhance their appearance. This is a natural process and does not affect performance.
  • Cleaning: Clean Damascus steel with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Oiling: Apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil after cleaning to protect the blade and enhance its beauty.
  1. Sharpening
  • Regularly inspect your blades for sharpness. Use a whetstone or sharpening tool suitable for the type of steel. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for sharpening.
  1. Safety Tips
  • Always handle tools with care and keep them out of reach of children when not in use.
  • Use appropriate safety gear (e.g., gloves, goggles) when using and maintaining your tools.
  1. Warranty and Support
  • Our products come with a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If you have any questions or concerns about your product, please contact our customer support team.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure that your New Friends Industries products remain in excellent condition, ready for your next outdoor adventure. Thank you for choosing NFIMETALCRAFTS!
