The Lesche Sampson shovel is constructed from aircraft-grade steel, which resists rust better than standard carbon steel but is not stainless. After each hunt, wipe soil and moisture from the blade and handle, especially if you have been digging in wet or acidic ground. Store the shovel in a dry location. A light coat of oil on the blade prevents surface oxidation during long-term storage. The smooth finish and rust-resistant alloy mean the Sampson tolerates field use without immediate corrosion, but neglecting to clean and dry the tool after wet hunts will eventually cause surface rust. Regular maintenance keeps the blade smooth and the handle secure.
