Are desiccant bags necessary?
Hello I have a few S30V fixed blades that are in a plastic toolbox in their kydex sheaths they will be staying in there for a year. They have been wiped with Marine tuff glide and the box is in a dry place in my house though I’m wandering if desiccant bags will be needed too? Thanks everyone.

I don't know if they are necessary but they're cheap so why not.
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and on those in the tombs bestowing life!

I use them (spaced out on each row) in my knife storage rolls and on the inside of my cedar lined cabinet where I keep most of my boxed Spydercos! Probably overkill as I live in a dry coastal area of southern California ...but like the gentleman said...they're cheap!Cave_Hermit wrote: ↑Mon Feb 11, 2019 8:19 pmHello I have a few S30V fixed blades that are in a plastic toolbox in their kydex sheaths they will be staying in there for a year.

I use a renewable plug in type desiccant in my gun safe and knife drawers.

Take a stroll through your local department store shoe section and you'll find a slew of silica gel packs in the boxes, if not all over the floor. I keep one in each of my knife boxes along with the knives when I'm not using them.
All SE all the time since 2017

Thanks everyone I ended up getting a refharabgle one a bit overkill but I won’t worry now!
Re: Are desiccant bags necessary?
Never used them and most my fixed blades are carbon tool steels. Even living where its warm and wet I've never had a knife rust sitting in a drawer. I store every FB in its sheath, whether leather or kydex. Never wipe them down with oils either...I just make sure they're clean and dry any time I put them away.
