Using the Gerber CrossRiver fixed blade knife is a breeze. First, attach the sheath to your belt or PFD as per your preference. To use the knife, simply press the quick - release trigger lock with your thumb. You can use either your left or right hand for this. When dealing with different materials, let the sharp fine edge and serrations on the blade do the work.
Some things to keep in mind. When using the knife around inflatables, rely on the blunt - tip blade to avoid accidental punctures. Always handle the knife with care to prevent injuries.
For maintenance, after each use, wipe the blade with a dry cloth to remove any moisture and debris. If the blade gets dirty, you can wash it with mild soap and water, then dry it thoroughly. This will help maintain the corrosion - resistant properties of the 9Cr18MoV stainless steel blade. Also, keep the HydroTread Grip™ clean by simply rinsing it under water. If the knife is stored for a long time, make sure it's dry and consider applying a light coat of oil to the blade to prevent rust.
