How well does 1095 steel fare in daily carry?

Post by Fishtail Picklock »

Since I cancelled my order with AB/SKM, I ordered an 11" Omerta Picklock from Roadside Importers LLC. This knife sports a 1095 High Carbon bayonet blade. From what I understand, it should hold a decent edge. What would be the best way to protect it from "demon rust?"
