Most of mine live in their sheaths in a designated knife drawer in the pantry. I have a knife block for the most often used carvers, kitchen knives for chopping ingredients and such and the sharpening steel in the kitchen, on the bench next to my stove where I do most food prep. One of my puukkos is in its sheath in my foraging basket, the other in the knife drawer. So I know where things are and blades are safe and out of the way.
