First of all welcome to the forum Mark

Any chance of some pics of these marks as it'll help identify the problem.

As for looking after it, just make sure it's kept dry and when stored a light wipe over with an oil to help protect it will be ample

Don't want to sound down on this but a £200 knife for someone who is new to bushcraft is a little excessive.
Also why import from the US.

Anyway as stated above it's a little difficult to advise without seeing it. If you can upload some pics I'm sure there will be someone who can advise on the problem.
