Scabbards and sheaths were designed for the safe carry of a sword or dagger to protect the wearer and the edge from damage, however this is not the preferred long term storage method for any steel. The tight fitting nature of scabbards can be prone to trap moisture from the air and other sources. Leather scabbards are typically tanned with chemicals or lacquered to condition it; great for the leather but bad for your steel long term.
We recommend that you store our blades in a cool dry environment after cleaning and protecting them. Long term storage could mean months to years depending on the environment it’s kept in.
