I would recommend that you try a good quality metal polish. I recently stripped the lacquer off my Narex chisels. I put 2 generous coats of metal polish on them immediately after, except for 2 of them which I got back to a couple days later. The ones I didn’t polish started to surface rust quite noticeably, while the rest remained nice and spotless. It’s been a few weeks now and I’ve been using the 1″ chisel a lot and it’s still rust free. I use Simichrome metal polish, which works very well on all metals I’ve used it on so far.
