How do you usually clean your katana?

[@Theorof]

@@samurai-tavern Just wipe with a soft paper towel and apply oil. Very rarely I use uchiko powder before wiping. I haven't done a lot of cutting, but when I did, I found that oil kept me from getting scratches on the blade.

[@beornthebear.8220]

I ordered 99.9% isopropyl alcohol to clean my blades with. Rubbing alcohol is typically 30% water.

[@erichusayn]

I only own non nihonto modern production katana. I use 91% rubbing alcohal to clean blade, then swing a couple times, then ensure blade is dry with a glasses cleaning cloth, then apply a coat of oil, which is a mix of legit katana oil from Japan, hoppes #9 oil, and mineral oil that has all been mixed together amd is soaked in my rag.

[@samurai-tavern]
