Depends. Plain hot water at max pressure if they're just gritty. Soap and hot water if I've used them for food prep or other tasks that leave them dirty but not gummy. Rubbing alcohol, followed by a hot water rinse, for most gummy residues. WD-40, followed by rubbing alcohol, followed by a hot water rinse for the most persistent tarry goo.

Usually soap and water depending on what i've done with the knife. I've also used Electra Motive. I find my 154CM manix 2 works best when i leave it dry as in no lubricants at all on the pivot. I do that jean wiping alot too. Although my Superhawk put a 4 inch slit in my pants once from not completely flipping the blade and cleaning it fast. I usually coat with rem oil except for my stretch because it sees food sometimes so i leave that uncoated.

when i buy a used frn one and it is beat to crap, the dishwasher. it is against spyderco's recommendation but it works. i then dry the heck out of it and lube it up and buff the blade out.

Wouldn't WD-40, then soap and water, then rubbing alcohol be better. I'm sure the rubbing alcohol would dry faster and desanitize at the same time. IDK, just a thought. Please correct me as this is something I wonder about.

Short answer is shirt or pants :)
If I have more time then Inox or WD40 and elbow grease. Sometimes soap and hot water. Then a swipe of Inox or Tuf Glide.

Dish soap sponge and hot water, dry with cotton and just a small amount of lube for firearms in pivots currently i use one called CNC. I do not use to clean the blade with oil because usually i use my knife for cutting bread, i leave oil on blades only on stored knives.
see my pics....

It would work but the olive oil could turn rancid. A better solution for food safe lubrication is mineral oil, which is food safe and won't turn nasty on you. YOu should be able to find it in the laxative section of your local Rx.

You can't display a toad in a fine restaurant like this! Why, the good folks here would go right off the feed!
