How to clean!

[Alibee92]

Hey! I'm new to well everything knife related.. I inherited my grandfather's. Can someone suggest how I can further clean these blades

Welcome here, Alibee92.
I would recommend number 4/0 steel wool and something like WD40 to lightly clean the gunk off
and leave as much of the historical patina as you are able. I would hope you wouldn't make it shiny.
That's a nice knife.

I had to clean some of it as the second blade wouldn't open. I've been doing as much research on this knife as I know nothing and inherited it

I saw in the USA post that you had cleaned it up some. Good for you. I would also put some oil in the pivot joints. Just a drop or two.
Those really are nice knives. That pattern is called a Hunter.
Do you have pictures of other knives?

Thanks! And just this one and the premier k 311. I got a multi tool but it seems rather new
