The most appropriate cleaning method for your own knives would be:
Wash with hot water and detergent after use for sterilization.
Rinse with clean, running water.
Dry with clean paper towels or air dry.
It is essential that knives are handled by the handle after washing to avoid cross-contamination of hands with the knife.
As knives are also tools that can present hazards, remember to expose them after washing in separate and safe places where children do not have access and do not cause accidents.
