Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Knife storage

Greetings to all,

I recently received my Rob Lay custom knife and it came with a padded case. After oiling the blade, is it alright to store the knife inside the padded case?

Thanks.

I keep mine in zippered padded cases made for individual knives. The sheath does not go inside with the knife though.

I have a couple of Menefees, a BA Custom, Steingass, David Winston, Mike Miller and a few others but it's only the Rob Lay that came with a zippered padded case (the sheath is secured with an elastic outside the case). Where can I buy similar zippered padded cases?

Thanks

This is where I get mine. The KnifeDogs Zip Knife Case comes in different sizes and they have elastic straps on the outside of the case to secure the sheath.

Thank you all for pointing me to the right direction.

I keep my knives out of any and all sheaths and zipper cases. Lightly oiled, and on a cloth in the safe.

lemon oil natural handle material. Couple times a year

And wipe off the excess oil before putting in a leather sheath.
