I heard from acquaintances that shot dope that bleaching a rig out would kill everything. If it works on a rig, it should work on a blade.

You can use isopropyl alcohol to sanitize a blade.

Hepatitis is pretty amazingly resilient stuff (much more so than even HIV), so it might (emphasis on "might") survive a quick rub-down with bleach. Nothing's going to survive a thorough soak, though.
Alcohol works, and scotch is usually close by. I have used Scotch over the years for cleaning knives, and for cleaning up cuts n scrapes, and as a prep for minor in home surgery for slivers, stings and such.
