    A1. Yes.

    A2. None.

    A3. Clean cold water.

    PS - take the wooden grips off first, right?

    And........

    Be careful what you add or it might take the bluing off it.

    I should have added Stainless Steel not blued. My stupid fault, I believe the blued type should be cleaned in the dishwasher.

    I've considered it but lead and powder residue going where I put things I eat off doesn't really appeal.
    It's all forgotten now, but Rockers and Mods only started fighting as the Rockers were annoyed at having some of their comments removed

    Years ago some one said cowboys used black powder as food seasoning, this is all I could find

    Haha trust the Americans, eat anything lol.
    The point of the hot water etc if working correctly won't mix with your food, plus much worse things on the plate

    I used to put the ROA cylinder in the dishwasher. Did an excellent job and I don't think I can get it that clean with a toothbrush in the sink. If you have access to one, I would say use it.
