Hi Aaron!
I believe you're referring to Ashley's thread about patina. It's not really about protecting the blade, but here's the thread:

best way to protect a blade is clean it and wipe over with a near dry oily rag before putting away.

Thanks for pointing him in the right direction Steve!
some people do actually use patina to create somewhat of a barrier, as I said in my article: "A good patina on a blade can actually form a protective barrier on metal, stopping further oxidation & corrosive rust from setting in, this can be a plus side to having a patina your blade."
Yes, fish is right; if protection is what your looking for you can't beat that ^^^
Alternatively, use it regularly and clean it after you've used it. I've never got rust on my knife if I've used it often enough.
