Sharing this idea to see if anyone has opinions, improvements or alternatives.
Got the idea from a Brous Mini Division I bought. Arrived stored in a clear plastic tube (ideal for visual identification) with plastic end caps.
Bought "Viewtainer" 2.75" x 12" tubes (which come with end caps in various colors). Placed wadded-up perforated tool drawer liner in tube, leaving enough room for dessicant sack. Bought those little mesh "gift bags" with draw strings at a hobby store and filled them 1/3 full with crystal cat litter. Put the draw-string-cinched dessicant bag into the tube below the shelf liner (so it doesn't come into contact with the knife) and capped that end. Put knife (properly treated for storage), blade down, into other end and capped. Could easily cut tube to shorter lengths, but saw no reason.
The only reservation I have is the possible drying effect of the dessicant on the wooden handles (which are treated with Renaissance Wax). We'll see.
Again, looking for as many opinions as possible.
Thanks, Folks!
