Since we live in the same city, I would imagine that if just drying works for you, then it should work for me (humidity not really playing a role in anything). Oil for long term storage seems easy...

Thanks so much for all the replies. I think I may want to oil it just to be on the safe side. That is, once I get mine.

I was wondering... does one have to put oil on a blade every time you use it if it's a carbon steel blade? Or is a good wipe down sufficient?
