Getting rid of flux on soldered blades...how do you do it?

[godogs57]

I boil my blades in a baking soda and water solution for about 10 minutes.....will this work? Any tricks you use to prevent rust etc later on down the line?

Thanks for any comments.

Add some dishwashing liquid to the baking soda and water, this will allow wetting.

After the boil I put the knife and the baking soda and water mixture in a ultrasonic cleaner and allow it to clean for about 45 min. Got this tip from Steve Johnson and Mike Lovett.

Take care

Almost forgot, after you have dried off the knife put a couple drops of FP-10 Lubricant on the back side of the guard and let it set overnight.
