CRKT Homefront FAQs
What is the best way to maintain my CRKT Homefront Compact knife?
To keep your knife in prime condition, clean it regularly with a dry or slightly moistened cloth. For tough spots, use rubbing alcohol, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot and a thin coat of oil to the blade to prevent corrosion. Avoid leaving the knife wet or storing it in damp environments.
How often should I sharpen the blade?
For general sharpening, a 600-grit diamond stone followed by a fine ceramic stone is effective. For a mirror polish, finish with a leather strop and polishing compound.
Is the CRKT Compact Homefront covered by a warranty?
Yes, CRKT knives typically come with a limited lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects and materials. This usually includes replacement parts and labor for covered issues.
What is the purpose of the lanyard hole?
The lanyard hole allows you to attach a lanyard or fob to the CRKT Homefront Field Strip Knife, which can aid in drawing the knife from your pocket, enhance grip, or simply add a personalized touch to your knife.
What is the significance of "DLC" on the blade finish?
DLC stands for Diamond-Like Carbon. It is a high-performance coating that enhances the blade's durability, reduces friction, and provides a sleek, non-reflective black finish, increasing resistance to wear and corrosion.
