How do I store my tools?

Sand and oil, safe sharp tools

One potter I know stores his tools in sharp builders sand with some oil mixed in. He says it keeps the tools clean, free of rust, and he doesn't have to sharpen as often. (I'm not sure how you tell them apart when they are hidden in the sand, but I suppose you could color code them, or just learn the handle shapes.)
