Why does nobody talk about the right way to store a chisel?

Honestly, I keep seeing guys just toss their chisels loose in a toolbox drawer. I watched a guy on a job in Phoenix last month pull out a 1-inch Stanley with a chip in the edge from banging against a wrench. It matters because a dull or damaged chisel forces you to work harder and ruins your cuts. I've kept mine in simple leather rolls for three years and they're still sharp as the day I bought them. What's your go-to method for keeping your edges safe?

My old foreman in Tucson swore by those magnetic strips on the workshop wall. Seems like a solid idea to keep them from rattling around, right @angelacooper?

I used to just throw mine in a bag too.

Remember when my bag ripped and everything just fell out on the sidewalk.
