Is it fine to keep a blade for a very long time?

[ber]

If I keep the blade in a normal temperature room without placing any rubber for a whole year is it fine?

Sure. I have blades made in the 1970's that are still fine.

Nooo without rubber they can get pregnant and you wont be able to play with them anymore 😔

Don't be fooled by Big Rubber, your blade is beautiful just the way it is.

it won’t feel rubbery

Make sure to not get it too cold, or it might shrink an inch or two and never grow back!

is it necessary to use silica gel

There is really only one necessary ingredient and that's common sense.

Depends on the humidity. If you're in the tropical zone, which is hot and humid all year round, then it's ideal to keep it in a storage box with desiccants.

depends on how long are you planing to leave it like that. 1 year is fine, but i wouldn't leave it more than 300 years.

Wood is an organic material so better avoid humidity and extreme low or high temperatures.

WTW My better blades are the oldest.
