I am about to finish my first blade but before i grind and polish it, does anyone know how to stop it from oxidizing/rusting? Is there something I can do to treat the metal?
Thanks

after grinding and final finishing I wipe mine down with a light coat of gun oil. They seem to be OK. I revisit the ones I keep every 60 or so days.

Hmmmm, would Mineral Oil work as well? I am going to be using it to stain the wood I am using for my hilt.

Chris I just use a light coat of oil on my polished blades. Something like 3 in 1 oil would work, Ballistol, Break Free, Nyoil, etc. I also keep them in a zipper case when not working on them.
