Highly rust-resistant or coated tool-steel folders?

[Comeuppance]

Tool steel folders are kinda rare as it is, and I certainly haven't been able to find much in the way of corrosion resistant or coated ones. As someone who is far too lazy to patina a blade (and also doesn't like the look), what's a good option? Also, does anyone other than Spyderco and custom knifemakers use CPM-3V in a folder?

H1 isn't a tool steel AFAIK, but it certainly is corrosion resistant. I've been considering picking one up as a car knife.

Your car uses a knife?
I own several knives in O1, 1095, D2, M4, 1055, etc. I don't have much problems with rust. The trick is learning proper care and maintenance of your knives. You don't need a hermetically sealed cerakote on your knives to prevent corrosion. A little common sense goes a long way. I see threads where people recommend, wax, oil, vaseline, all kinds of other stuff. It may or may not work depending on where you are, how you store your knives, etc. Another thing about patinas, I've never forced one on a knife. I have cold blued a 1095 knife, and it worked pretty well.

Sorry sometimes I can't comprehend my own language very well.....

See, that part about doing stuff with your knives. Eh. Too lazy. I'll sharpen them, lubricate them, clean them, and tighten them - you know, keep them in working mechanical order. As far as rust prevention goes, though, I just wipe 'em off.

I don't like to worry about corrosion, and I don't like to have to put coatings on blades. S'just my thing.
