i may wipe it down,and then throw it back in the sheath and fall asleep.or i might just stick it into a tree and leave it their over night.

i chop so much with it that this layer of tree gunk gets caked on the blade and only comes off with a hard scrubbing with a scotchbright pad and WD40.last night i chopped a 14in freshly fallen oak tree in half.it took an hour or more but after that much chopping the blade was just caked with tree gunk and i'm never in a hurry to clean it off.

i need to buy a second DFLE.i should've gotten two in the first place
