What exactly are cleaning off of the blade? For general cleaning of my knives, I just rub the blades with some 3in1 oil on a cloth. (after I've washed off any sticky stuff/food with warm soapy water.)

yeah i just wash mine in hot water too, soap, then really hot H2O to help it dry, a toothbrush helps with folders, then lightly oil and your done, works for me anyway.
