In cleaning my knives, I usually use my fingers pressed together on either side of the blade from behind, running them the length of the blade. I only go one direction, away from the handle. Sometimes I use a tiny drop of soap, but mostly just water under the faucet, repeating as necessary. This seems to be safe, as I've never come close to a cut using the method.

Does anyone else do this? I'd also be interested in hearing some of your safety tips.
