The elmax should be good here for the damp weather here. I love a nice patina on a carbon blade My father liked the carbon blades as well, and his knives had a good patina on them. I am old school in a lot of ways My favorite knife is an old wade and butchers woodcraft clone made circa 1930

And that's talking about blades made of 'rusting'-steels, any other knife I use, I just don't bother...

I like the newer (Busse/kin) thicker utility knives for the lateral strength.

Keeping 'm sharp, that's a different matter: I usually just iron the blades I use and that's also when they get inspected.

That's not to say I don't take care of the others: they get the occasional wipe with the cloth and check of the edge too. It's just that if I don't use them, they just get a layer and get put to sleep.
