How to Clean Swiss Army Knives

Cleaning a Swiss Army Knife will keep it from rusting and give it that shiny look as if it were just bought. Keeping a knife clean will also make it more sanitary to keep in your pocket, and a clean knife is easier to open because their is no grime blocking the way.

Things You'll Need

Pot of water
Toothbrush
Cooking oil

Instructions

- 1
  Put water in a pot and boil.
- 2
  Open all the tools on the Swiss Army Knife and drop into the boiling water. The boiling water will loosen the grime that has built up on the knife.
- 3
  Take the boiling pot of water off the heat after the knife has been it for one minute and pour out the hot water.
- 4
  Add warm water to the pot to cool off the Swiss Army Knife. Adding cold water could crack the plastic handle because of temperature shock.
- 5
  Remove the knife from the warm water and use a toothbrush to remove any grime still on the knife.
- 6
  Coat the knife blades with cooking oil after the knife has been air dried. Rub off the excess oil with a paper towel.
