I recently bought myself a Spyderco UK legal pen knife, alongside a uk Leatherman too (both legal carrying as no lock blades). This was to replace my lost, and much used, Gerber Suspension (So much use for so little money, really miss it!) and a Mauser folding knife (not original I think as it looked slightly different from the pics I found on Google).
Anyway, this is my first new knife in a long time and I'm just curious about how to keep the blade clean. There is currently some residue on the Spyderco blade. I can just clean the blade off with a damp cloth, but is there an advantage to using a lightly oiled rag to leave a waterproof sheen on the blade and help protect it? If so, is there a recommended oil to use and\or type of cloth?
Thanks in advance!
