I’m not particularly worried about my D3V blades. The ones that are mostly kept stored get a light coating of mineral oil. My user EDC2 hasn’t seen anything on it in a good while.
Generally, my experience has been that knives that see regular use (and are at least wiped dry) don’t exhibit any problems whatsoever.
I live in an area that has high humidity in the summers and is super dry (heating) in the winters. Leather sheaths are used to carry, never to store.
