How to clean a knife


I recommend starting with the blade of your knife, a toothbrush is a good tool to use to brush away any visible dirt or dust. If your using a toothbrush, use it very lightly as to not scratch your knife. If you see stains, use heavy attachment for the detailer. If the stain is tough to remove, use a small amount of glass cleaner like windex. I highly recommend doing this if your cleaning any antique pocket knifes, vintage-pocket-knives, or remington-pocket-knives! If your using a toothbrush, still use a small amount of glass cleaner plus scrub a little bit heavier than usual.

To clean the body of your knife, you need to get into every nook and cranny possible. Simular to your blade, remove visible dust and dirt with a brush attachment and very light strokes with the toothbrush. Same with the heavy stuff. Use the tougher attachment and a small amount of glass cleaner like windex, with a toothbrush. Heavier strokes and little cleaner. Once again this goes for, antique pocket knives, vintage-pocket-knives, and remington-pocket-knives. It also goes for knives like queen steel pocket knives, case brand pocket knives, camillus pocket knives, engraved hunting knives, kabar hunting knives, cutgo knives and kershaw knives!

The most important thing to remember for a safe knife, you should always want to extensively clean the hinge and place where the knife is folded into. If you don't, it may end up harder to unfold your knife and sooner or later not unfolding at all.
