If necessary I soak it in a Triton 100 X solution; rinse with distilled water and use the Styrofoam stick that came with it to clean the blade.

I was told only to use this method when necessary; otherwise rinse the knife with distilled water and allow to dry.

Hi everyone

I am wondering what the rest of you use to clean your diamond knives after
sectioning (we use Spurr's resing).  I have been told that packing peanuts
soaked in distilled water work well.  Hmmm.  Looking forward to any other ideas
or comments.  

Thank you very much,
