Well no ones talkin today, so I'll ask a really dumb question

I just treated myself to a disk cutter and steel doming block / punch set, not fancy, just cookies kinda standard ones. They've come covered in oil, loads of it inside the packets, should I wipe most of that off before using? I ask because my steel block came like that and I cleaned it with kitchen paper, but now it's discoloured in patches like maybe it's rusting a little...

I don't use anything regularly, so should I be keeping my steel tools in their super oily state? If so any particular kind of oil?

Many thanks
