Light coat of acrylic lacquer maybe?

Ballistol is great stuff. https://ballistol.com/

There are these specialized " oils", that are not really oils but tiny particles of graphite or something in the knife world...

Obviously I can't remember, but I've used them in the past on my knives and they are effective at keeping rust away and not leaving an oily greasy film...

@crenca - graphite is used all the time as a lubricant especially for things that you want to keep dry. It’s great for deadbolts that get stuck sometimes. I have doubts that it can prevent oxidation but if that’s one of it’s uses than I’ll have to read up on it

It might be another substance. I have some at home and intended to get the brand name when I got home but of course I forgot :). Hopefully I will remember tonight…

I know some guys who put their more delicate tools and equipment into pelican-type toolboxes with big fat desiccant packs to keep them dry.
