A lot of trouble to make it look like it's been used some. For crying out loud....take it out and cut an apple or orange once in a while. Maybe a spud or two. Cut something now and then, and strop it on cardboard. Quit washing it with soap. A lot of that patina stuff comes from the black powder bunch. You don't want to go to a rendezvous with your knife all shiny and new. Some heat and your favorite panther piss and it looks like ol faithful has been through a couple years in the mountains. BTW cold blue looks good but the selenium from the cold blue makes food taste bad.

Which explains a lot.

Treat is with something to give it a forced patina as noted above and/or
use Gibbs on it. It will dry and block moisture very well.

My old man stored his work drill bits in a plain wood tool box. He claimed the wood worked to control moisture. I do the same. Works for me. I have a separate box for knives.

If a knife used any good penetrating oil, collector melted wax, kitchen duty's food grade grease.

Renaissance Wax. Museums use it for metal surface preservation, among other things.
Brownell's and Amazon sell it.

Be like a viking and bathe it in the blood of your enemies!
Or use a good oil
Or get a stainless steel knife like a Swiss Army

Very interesting. I don’t take any particular xtra steps to prevent rust.
Living in the Humid South you’d think rust would be a problem ?
Truthfully, I don’t remember when I had trouble with a knife rusting. Serious.
Why do you think you are ? ?
My knives are Gerber, Buck, Camilus, Remington, Winchester, etc.

His Boker is obviously high carbon steel.......I doubt that any of the knives you listed are...(maybe the Camilus???). I think you are onto something there. IIRC most of mine are some variant of S S. He also lives in Ga. I don't know how close to the coast. Salt water would have an effect. Jerry

Brownell's and Amazon sell it. Renaissance Wax is amazing. Can't tell it is there, but it prevents rust for a long time. I use it on knives, as well as firearms (wood and metal). It is pricey per ounce, but you use VERY little, so a can will last a LONG time.

Let it rust and knock it down with Flitz.
It will patina over time. As it should.

Lived within seeing distance most of my life knives firearms etc. need no special treatment - outdoors - yep- door hardware and other metal does corrode moreso . Just saying .

Sure are a lot of goofy ones above.
Put your pants on, put knife in pocket, fill pocket with molten wax, have a nice day.

I had the same problem - I carried my knife in my back pocket.
