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. ::nod::

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?
