Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Yea, I think it's there to keep the wrapper sealed around the blade. Doesn't bother me that it's there. I drop it in the blade and go about my business. Like somebody else said, I'll bet it melts and comes off as soon as hot water hits it. Although, I must say, I've never actually looked to see if that's true.

I think it would depend on which type of lighter fluid it is. A cursory glance through the internet yields 3 likely main ingredients. Methanol and ethanol, used in fuels and other applications, are typically not corrosive unless there are inorganic salts present. Mineral spirits is a common third ingredient, used pretty much everywhere, including removal of paints and adhesives from steels. However, the particular brand might have additives/contaminates that may yield different results. If you really want, I would recommend Goo Gone, it is safe for metals not so for leather.

If only there were some kind of device into which a razor blade could be inserted. One which would cover up such unsightly things and leave only the working edges of the blade exposed...
