May Meeting 2012

Ways to keep steel from rusting

Hey yall. I was wondering if there were some tricks you guys might know to keep blades from rusting without affecting the mirrored finish on a blade.I spent a rediculous amount of time hand sanding all the way to 1500 grit on my first knife and now want to seal it but I dont want it to change or dull the finish.
