Question about Damascus blades

I've never owned a knife with a Damascus blade. I looking at acquiring a case stockman with this type blade. Do these blades require the same type of maintenance that a Case chrome Vanadium blade requires to prevent rust? Are they prone to rust?

Thank you in advance.

Yes, Damascus blades will rust if not properly cared for.
