I had a bad experience with knives kept in the leather sheaths. The humidity here was extremely high this summer. When the time came to check the knives (they were all kept in a wooden box in my finished basement) the sheaths had ended up with a bad case of mold & mildew. The knives were spared, however it took a lot of cleaning & neatsfoot oil to bring the sheaths back. What would anyone recommend...the best way to store the leather sheaths & knife boxes. I am thinking about plastic totes with several desiccant packs in each tote. I will be using a 6 drawer display case for the knives.

Do you think RIce bags may help with this too?

Sue,
Possibly, I just never thought of it. If your noticing moisture you could put a rice bag in for a few days maybe even a week to wick moisture out of a sheath
