I have a canvas roll with leather reinforcement at the sharp end but I don't store them in the roll for the reason Orraloon points out. I don't have a rust problem in my workshop but have had problems with rust 'staining' on items stored in cloth or leather. I made a wet-pressed leather shoe for a No4 plane for transporting it in a toolbox. Forgot about it for around a year. When I took it out of the shoe the sole and sides were covered in 'contact' rust. Not a big deal, a light rub with wet and dry cleaned it up but an inconvenience all the same.I guess if left for a long time unattended in the roll then damp may be a problem.
