Care of Carbon Fiber

Firebat · Feb 28, 2001

Hey all-

I just recieved a slotted CF Apogee from Darrel Ralph, and was wondering if there were any special cautions or concerns when caring for CF. I normally use a Tuf Cloth on my knives after use, but am a bit hesistant to apply it to the CF just yet.

The finish put on by Darrel is really nice, and I don't want to use anything that's going to tear it up.

Any thoughts? Thanks-

Carbon fiber is pretty much inert, so you really don't need anything to protect the handle itself. You may want to wax it or oil it or something to bring out the shine a bit every now and then, but otherwise that's it. I haven't had a problem with Tuf Cloth on carbon fiber.
