Cleaning your folders

Hey point44 if you are interested buy 2 bottles of Militec-1 and have them shipped to me and I will keep one and I will package up and ship the other one to you air mail and fill out the customs ticket so as you should not have any trouble getting it.
 
Point44,I sent you a email about the Militec-1 a little while ago.;)
 
For a full cleaning I use dish soap and warm water. Then I dry the knife and lube moving parts with Rem-Oil. Tuff Cloth goes on the blade. For a dry cleaning, I use Q-Tips and toothpicks.
 
I use compressed air, like the kind used on electronics. I also use q-tips and a rag (old t-shirt).
 
I'm glad to hear the ultrasonic bath discussed. I have one at my disposal in the electronic shop I work in. We also have lots of flux remover,:) but until now I didn't realize it was such a good solvent for de-griming (thanks Gollnick). These items are postioned under a fume hood, right next to the compressed air line thingee. Looks like I have found the ideal knife cleaning station!:D

Try the old redneck method. When it gets too dirty to close, take the dumb end of a kitchen match with a small amount of paper towel wrapped around it and swab it out.
 
I use Silicone Spray. I like it better then WD40 because it doesn't seem attract as much dust and dirt as WD40 does. Silicone Spray, Q-tips, a nice lint free cloth, and an hour to sit around and clean my knives.

I haven't tried Militec-1 yet...but I probably will before long.

I take all my knives apart to clean them. I just too my BM3000 Auto apart and it was a REAL biitch to put back together, but I got it all cleaned out. I use CLP and it has been awesome on my knives, not any rust at all. Just be careful when you disassemble your knife, dont scar the screw heads, and you can send it back and they wont ever know. Some people think that this is dishonest, I think that it actually saves BM time becuase I am not sending in my knives.
 
Cleaning knives is boring....lol..., but lots of good suggestions here!

I just like to clean 'em up with whatever..., get 'em bone dry.., and go the Militec route. Takes a bit more time overall I suppose, since Miltiec-1 works best with heated application..., butthe results are impressive.

A few mentioned the dangers of some of the stronger chemicals with delicate collectibles (good advice)! I've seen more than a couple of pieces pretty much ruined by various solvents.., so good to be cautious and check before using a product that is new to you.
