Detailed explanation-1: -Speaking of which, never let a knife sit wet in the sink or anywhere else for that matter. That means no soaking, ever, and when you’ve finished washing it by hand, dry it immediately or the metal will become susceptible to rust and corrosion.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wash your knife with dish soap and hot water after each use. Rinse with clear water. Air-dry or pat dry with clean paper towels. Handle kitchen knives carefully by their handles; don’t pile them into the sink or dishpan, but wash them one by one and rack them with handles up.

Detailed explanation-3: -Let it soak in a shallow bath of soapy water for a few minutes. It can be dangerous to scrub a knife; soaking the knife for a few minutes allows the food to dissolve and makes for easier cleaning. Don’t let knives soak for more than a few minutes, as longer could cause the blades to rust and the handles to warp.

Detailed explanation-4: -In order to prevent contamination, it is important to clean your knife as soon as you’re done using it. Leaving your knife on your cutting board or in a sink full of soapy water clutters your kitchen and creates opportunities for contamination and injury.
