Recommendation? Looking for restoration tips

[remix_cnk]

Hey I'm a new member, but I have come thru here browsing many times...

I recently came across 4 Elinox 2475 pocket knives and I was looking to clean one of them up as a gift for a close friend. I was wondering if there is a certain cleaner I should use, or will it be ok to wash them with soap. It's in excellent condition, just really needs cleaning.

Knives don't melt if they get wet. Soap and hot tap water. Hot water dries faster than cold. If you have a source of compressed air, blow them dry. If not do the best you can with paper towel. Oil with a lite oil when done.
