I went on Etsy but not finding this particular one. I really love it and would like to purchase it for my husband.

I put mine in a couple of drawers lined with a nice towel in an empty chest of drawers. I can now just open the drawers and enjoy them and I’ve saved the original packaging and put those in the closet! Thanks for your great storage tips

Thanks for all the Posts !.. I have ( 2 ) Very Expensive Custom made ” Bowie’s ” . My Knife Maker up in Canada Suggests I use W D -40 to coat the Blades , & all Metal Parts , like Hand Guards , + any ” Trimmings ,to keep from Rust . Say’s his other Customers have Very good results . I’m careful not to Coat the Wood handles ,which are made of African Ebony . Don’t want to chance doing any Harm to Wood . I look in on ’em from time to time , if they need any more . Wrap them separately in old T-shirts , & store ’em in a Card board box to fit , away from Heat & Moisture . Seems Acetone a good Idea to clean the Blades before use , & re-apply W D -40 after use , again to Store ’em away.
I use ”Howard’s Feed &Wax ” on Wood (a lite coat will do ) As I use this on my Gun stocks as well . If anyone has any better suggestions , would like to hear ’em .

1) Clean the blade and other metal parts thoroughly with a solvent such as acetone or TTE.
2) Coat metal parts in a protectant film such as a light oil or similar product such as Tuf-Glide.
3) Place the knife in a Sackup of appropriate size which comes already saturated with a silicone oil.
4) Place the knife/knives in a Food Saver storage container (or bag) along with a porous container activated charcoal or activated silicon beads and use a Food Saver machine to pump the air out.
No oxygen – no moisture – no surface contamination = no corrosion.

They are not too expensive either.

Of course grandpa I am sure used that knife everyday, why not use it to add your spirit to it as well, I bet grandpa would think you a little nuts for having a knife that you NEVER use.

I have knives that were my dad’s and one that belonged to my grandfather. No I don’t usally carry them, but I do pull them out, touch then look at them. It not only reconects me with thier spirit but it gives me an opertuity to see if there is a speck of rust starting someplace. Thats what I do with my knives of great sentimental value.

Take it to a company that seals and preserves things (wedding dresses are a common one and might be a place to start) I would not recommend just dropping the knife into a foodsaver bag and sealing it. While I am sure that would work you need to keep moisture and oxygen out. If you can not find a pro to do it for you, I guess I would clean the blade and oil it with a good gun oil then drop some O2 absorbers, and some silica gel packs into the food saver… good luck
