Alcohols have a tremendous ability to mix with and carry water. That water will cause rust if allowed to hang around. Keep your bottle tightly capped and do not soak your blade in it.

I use silicone spray for a rust preventative. Many brands are labeled as safe for incidental food contact and if that puts you off, food grade is widely available. I do not allow alcohol or silicone on my scales.
Agree 100%! I do the same but use camila oil instead of silicone! We clean wire harnesses and canon plugs at my job with alcohol as well
