How would I clean this sword without using sword cleaning kit?

You can use a clean cotton rag to clean the debris from the sword. It will come with dust and particles stuck in the oil when the sword arrives.Then do a search on amazon for "Sword maintenance Oil". As an alternative go to a drug store and find some light mineral oil. Use only a very few drops, maybe 3 or 4 on each side of the blade and wipe it with a soft cloth.

Get some gun oil, some rice paper or tissue gift wrap paper, and a clean cloth. Use the cloth to remove old oil then apply the gun oil lightly, using the rice paper/gift tissue wrap paper to spread a thin coating of oil across the blade and spine/blood groove. Be careful applying/removing oil to the blade edge!

There are very specific ways to clean a sword. I would buy a kit. They are fairly cheap. Sometimes the kits aren't the best quality, but they do the job. Though if you really don't want to bother, try using alcohol to clean it, wipe it off with a light toilet paper, no colored stuff, then coat it with mineral oil.

I'm not exactly sure... You definitely want to clean the blade. There are no more than enough sword cleaning kits available on Amazon. I bought one at the same time that I bought this sort. It's in a wooden box with congee written on the front. I can't remember the seller or the name of The seller, or the name of the product, but it was a damn good investment and it only costs about $13 per kit. I suggest doing your research on cleaning katana before you purchase this one.

I am not a professional by any means and its an inexpensive sword so I just wash it with dish soap and water and let it dry before I put it in the sheath. It has had some spots where it got some surface rust from not being dry when sheathed but they came out easy with a steel wool and light oil.

Gun oil and a really soft cloth that you will only use for the sword. No need to get that stupid kit when oil does the same thing.

I have never had to clean mine. But it looks like a damp cloth alone may work or a damp cloth with a mild soap might do the trick. It's made of a material that is suede-like, maybe a chamois.I hope that helps you.

Try scrubbing it with steel wool or a pumice stick. I use them as my final effort for cleaning things. If they don't work, return it or throw it away.

The sword I received was in good condition, but the inside of the sheath was covered in some kind of wax that made it difficult to pull the sword out and got the blade dirty every time I sheathed it. I would suggest putting the sheath upside down next to a heater if you do decide to buy it, I did that and the 'wax' went away. The sword is fine though.

Yes you do! The blade is made of carbon steel and it will rust over time if it's not oiled. The amount of maintenance required depends on what you're doing with the sword. If you cut through plastic bottles filled with water or any type of fruit (especially citrus) you MUST clean, dry and oil the blade after. Any type of gun-oil will work, you don't need to hunt down any "special" oil, but just make sure not to over-oil the blade. One or two passes with an oiled rag should keep your blade rust-free for many years.

I use a sonic jewelry cleaner. It's not too much of a hassle. U just throw it in and let the cleaner do its thing.

Cleaning is super easy. Especially if you put a plastic bag in the pulp catcher in the back. That way, you don't have to bother washing that part out. Everything else pretty much rinses out with hot water, except the blade itself. You'll need a cleaning brush to clean it off.

You don't! The only cleaning is surface cleaning on the outside of the unit. The manual recommends wiping with a dry cloth. It's maintenance free - plug it in and only dry wipe the shell when needed.

Very well! And i just run hot water through it and polish with a soft cloth. I just googled cleaning options. There are other ways, but that was the easiest way i found.

I don't have a dishwasher so I usually use scotchbrite on the underside of the blade. A stiff cleaning brush from back to front should work well also.

You can replace the wheels so I imagine you could open it up and clean them too. I've been using mine for a couple years and no cleaning our replacement needed so far. I use only with global knives though.

You really don't have to clean it but you can use light soap and water mixed and just pour it through and rinse it out thoroughly that's it.

I use Twinkle brass and copper cleaning kit. It's very easy to use and brings the kettle back to new condition. You can buy it from Amazon, too.
