Milk in my Delica...

I've got a Delica I've used in the kitchen for years. After I use it on food, I hand wash it with dish soap and water. I rinse it with hot water, because I believe it's going to evaporate more quickly. I towel it dry, and let it dry the rest of the way in the open position. I never bother to use WD-40 on it. It has never shown any sign of rust.

So, yes, relax.
 
my main firestarter is a gerber strikeforce with wd-40 soaked cotton balls

If I get really bored I sometiems take my users apart totally, as much as they can be disasembled, and I clean everything with soap and water, then polish the metal parts with flitz metal polish, then I re-assemble the parts, sharpen the blade, then lube the pivots with tuf-glide...But thats only once every 2 months or so when I have absulutley nothing else to do, lol...Plus when I do that I go through about 3 dozen Q-tips, lol...
 
We didn't have The Toolshed back in 2003....

After four years, whatever milk was spilled is spoiled by now. Time to stop crying over it.
 
J-man, I've got a suggestion for you. Wash the milk out of your knife, shake off the excess water, fold it up, and put it back in your pocket. Later, after it dries, put a drop of Militec-1 on the pivot, open it, close it, and forget it. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's not a computer, camera, or cell phone you're talking about here.

Long story short, I spilled a bowl of cereal, I've changed pants, cleaned the floor, now the knife. I've put it in water, taken it out, dryed it the best I could. Now I'm working it opoen and closing, lubing it with Militec, working it mre, wiping off the blade and pivot areas. I'm hopeing I can wash the water out with the Militec. Any suggestions?

Jim,
J-man the Jet hasn't been around here in about 3 1/2 years.

I miss his avatar though, so thanks for whoever resurrected this thread. :)
 
IMHO the best way to get rid of water is get 91% IPA soak whatever you have that shouldn't be wet, soak it in said IPA swish it around, then use compressed air of some type (in a pinch any compressed gas COULD work, however dangerously large amounts of certain gases may not be desirable) and blow the alcohol and water right out, anything you don't get will evaporate post haste. For metal hit it with some WD-40 more air then lube it right.
