While Mister Moon's solution is probably the best one to preserve the bayonets, it is, in my opinion, not very practical when you have a lot of bayonets.
Unless you want to use a room in your house only to store your collection, I prefer to use few big storage boxes where I keep all my M9s together.
As for the wear on the blade after inserting in and out the bayonet from the scabbard, I think that there is no real solution, apart from storing the bayonets outside their scabbard.
I did notice that, when the blade is properly oiled, the wear is minimal.
I would be careful about using the paper to protect the blade, as there is the risk of it being trapped inside the scabbard.
