How do you guys store your knives?Do you store them all outside of the sheath, even the stainless steel ones?
 
I store them in 10"x10" wide and 1.5" high plastic boxes. Then I just stack them on top of each other. My knife collection isn't that extensive, but I keep each box labeled for the contents.

If I'm storing them long term, I use 3-in-1 oil on the blades, locks and pivots.
 
If the sheath is leather, I typically do store them unsheathed.
 
since my "collection" is still relatively small. i have my folders that arent used regularly stored in their boxes in a drawer and my fixed blades that arent used regularly are stored in a filing cabinet. and the things that i use daily are on my person :D
 
Thank you all! I have been storing most of my knives out of their sheath and with a layer of oil. But maybe that is a little overkill.

Never store a knife in a leather sheath, that goes for stainless as well. ;)

What about kydex or nylon?

Can you store the knives in the sheaths if they are made of those two materials?

How long is considered long to determine if you need to add oil to the blades?

The pelican case sounds nice, but they are bulky sometimes
