High carbon steel is durable and holds a sharp edge well, but it is prone to rust if left wet. After each use, wipe the blades clean and dry them thoroughly before placing them back in the canvas sheath.
The blades on this model are not replaceable. However, because they are made from high-quality steel, they can be sharpened periodically with a whetstone or sharpening tool to maintain their performance over time.
Yes, the included sheath is made from weather-resistant waxed canvas. It provides a protective layer that helps keep the blades clean and shielded from the elements while you are working in the garden.
