sword maintenance

Sword maintenance involves regular cleaning and care to preserve its properties and appearance. After use, wipe the blade with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, moisture, and dirt, which can cause rust. Periodically, clean the blade with a suitable oil, like machine oil or specialized sword oil, to prevent corrosion. Keep the sword stored in a dry, safe place, preferably in a scabbard that allows airflow. Avoid excessive handling and exposure to humidity. If needed, sharpen the edge carefully to maintain its cutting ability, but this is best done by a professional or experienced individual. Proper maintenance ensures the sword remains functional and visually appealing over time.
