Regarding leather and steel, yes it's the tannins. It doesn't matter much for the short term, but I for one wouldn't store a razor or knife in leather indefinitely. By the by, on the subject of tannins oak, and particularly English oak, is loaded with them: it's absolutely inimical to steel, something to bear in mind for boxes (and scales for that matter).
