I just recently purchased a high carbon knife that needs to be oiled to prevent rust. I just have a few questions about how and when I should do this. First of all, what type of oil should I use? Second, how often should I oil it? After every use? After I use it in wet conditions? Can it wait a few hours after I have used it in a wet climate before I oil it, or should it be immediate? Finally, how much oil do I use? Will there be a thin layer of oil all over the knife? Will it make the blade messy or slick?
Thanks for any replies. I tried to run several searches, but for some reason the searches aren't working.
