This blade will naturally patinate with use. This means it will turn light blue or yellow, grey colors and the like, depending on the various food acids it encounters; which affects performance not at all. You do not want the blade to rust however, and to prevent this, simply keep a dry knife cloth or hand towel on the counter when using, and before setting the knife down and walking away, wash blade with non abrasive sponge and soap, then dry right away. Oiling every time is not strictly necessary although oiling before storing for longer periods of time is advised. Use mineral oil for best results.
Hand sharpen with japanese style water stones or diamond stones at approximately ten degrees per side as a baseline suggestion.
