What kind of oil do you use for your blades?

I use WD wonderful for swords, knives and the Harley.
I also use baby oil with good results for the swords too.

Oiling is something that needs to be done often here in QLD as there is a high humidity level and that is bad news when items are left in scabbrds for a long time.

Frequency is another point of discussion that doesn't come up often, what would be considered the right time between oilings relevant to where you live and how you store your collections?
