Best place for storage is the place that wouldn’t absorb moisture from the damascus steel as it should be lubricated (with coconut or mineral oil) and kept that way for it to last a lifetime without any rust. Should any surface rust appear due to negligence of care, it can easily be wiped off with a mixture of vinegar and lime and re-coated with mineral or coconut oil (best food-safe lubricants for damascus steel thus far). This item is made of 1095 steel and wood, leather.
