Howdy. I've had a blade-swapped native salt (lc200n blade into a linerless g10 body) for a while now, and my only issue is some light corrosion on the inside of the backspacer and on some of the screws. I'm wondering what my best bet is for stopping that corrosion, it's my main "active" folder so it gets sweaty often.
Are there any "at home" solutions? Charing the parts over a fire or something like that? There's a company near me that does powder coating but it's mostly industrial and I'd think such a special project would be pricey.
Thanks for the suggestions in advance!

For liners and backspacers I have had luck with mineral oil or frog lube. As for the screws, for the threads blue loctite should keep away corrosion. If you are talking about the heads of the screws then I’m not sure.

Did you use the Salt hardware? Maybe find titanium screws.

Re: how can I rust proof my native?
When I do blade swaps on backlocks I usually swap the lock bar with it and all the hardware. I basically just swap scales.
Otherwise I suggest any firearm rust inhibitor. Lots of choices but keep it oiled and it won’t rust.
