HI, I made a dry box for my knife collection, its working very well but I hope not too well? Its taken the humidity inside down to 29. I know steel loves it but what about the bone handles? Will they crack eventually? Thanks for your input!

That's way too low.

Ideal is 45-50%

Low humidity can dry out and crack wood.
