I've had tons of knives over the years, but up until recently I didn't have any that I particularly liked and wanted to keep in great shape.  I've heard that you should coat a knife with oil, or lubricant, etc. periodically...to prevent rust.  What exactly should I use?  How often?  And does it differ with the various metal types?  <br><br>Also, what type of resonably priced sharpener do you all recommend?  Anything in the $20-$40 range would be great. <br><br>Thanks!<br><br>-John McIntire
