Old timers are carbon steel blades. A good oiling of joints & wiping of the blades is all the cleaning you need to do. Now sharpening they can be a bit of a chore.

yeah, I need to learn how to sharpen, that's one thing I've never done, always had someone else do it.
If it starts with a good edge it is not hard to touch-up. Knives that are dull to start with are hard to get a good edge. You might try onne of the "Cheater sharpeners". Which do an admireable job.

I used to have one of those, I don't know what I did with it.
I meant to say folding knives are more portable. Conceal wasn't the word I was looking for. :thumbup
yeah, they are more portable.
They are more pocketable. 
This thread is definitely a man thing! 
Cutlery is not just a man thing.
I prefer a fixed blade for cleaning game and a folder for everyday use. The fixed blade keeps blood, hair and other things from getting in cracks. Carry a nice 3 blade, case around with me for everyday use. Use a fixed blade by Knives of Alaska for deer and hogs.
I carry a folder in my pocket every day and have for close to 40 years. I have to remember to remove it when I go certain places. Feel naked without a knife in my pocket.
Sheez AUFred, you won't be allowed in the UK with those knives
I did not post my guns. The UK is not worthy of my arsenal. LOL
I guess you won't be over here in a rush then :24:
