Sometimes its not a easy as yes or no.Generally speaking most say don't.But what is long term storage? What type of steel ? How was the sheath tanned and finished etc. I have stored carbon blades in there sheaths for over a year with no problems as long cleaned and oiled before. I don't think I would store a high end knife in the sheath. Sorry for the long answer and I will take the safe response and say NO.

Happy Thanksgiving
