Re: cleaning cutters?
I wouldn't get either near the cutting edges. Just use a damp cloth and elbow grease. Light machine oil in pivot point and locking button.
There ya go.

Re: cleaning cutters?
Ive used a touch of rubbing alcohol on a q-tip to get the gunk on the blade and some food grade lube on the slide points. I'd imagine that it would be the same for your Xikar

Re: cleaning cutters?
Rubbing alcohol, or just thow it in the dishwasher with LIQUID detergent. Powdered can actually dull an edge.
