Tigerinbamboo Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 I'm looking for an attractive stand that can hold / display 4-5 naginata in a limited floor space. Not quite sure what that would look like. Could pay up to around a thousand dollars. Quote
b.hennick Posted December 7, 2019 Report Posted December 7, 2019 I did a Google search for Naginata kake and found a reasonable wall mounted stand for naginata for under $70. Two set $140... 1 Quote
Tigerinbamboo Posted December 7, 2019 Author Report Posted December 7, 2019 I was thinking more of something to hold them vertically, like a stand. I can't just put them in an umbrella stand, because they are so top heavy Quote
SAS Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 Any idea on dimensions, Kathleen? I can check my wood stock and maybe we can come up with something..... 2 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 One of the members of my sword club has a vertical display for 5 or 6 naginata, that was very custom-made, Stef. It's shaped sort of like a yin-yang symbol, with half of it swinging away to allow removal, & back together to lock. He's pretty old (90+), & hasn't shown up at a meeting in awhile, but I'll see if I can arrange for a photo or three, & will pass it on to Steve, too. 2 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted December 8, 2019 Report Posted December 8, 2019 You could look at rifle racks. Quote

Brian Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 Good idea. And looking online, there are some awesome designs. I bet a carpenter could make a stunning example of this design taking 6 or 8 naginata/yari.https://www.gametablesonline.com/floor-standing-cue-rack.htmlJealous Kathleen...5 naginata? Still after my first one. Love to see pics when you have time. 1 Quote
Brian Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 Or even rotating...http://airplanedesign.info/forward/ Quote
Ted Tenold Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 Kathleen, I have a contact in Japan that makes a naginata/yari stand for up to 3 pieces. Not sure if he could make a 5 place one, but I wouldn't doubt that he could. Price however is the hurdle because with shipping you'd probably be somewhere around $1000 USD. I would also suggest an armory style stand like those made for rifles/shotguns. https://gunracksforless.com/products/copy-of-oak-wood-vertical-gun-rack-5-place-wall-mount-or-floor-display Quote
SAS Posted December 10, 2019 Report Posted December 10, 2019 I can do something in Hawaiian Koa wood within your budget, Kathleen; pm me if interested in discussing it. 1 Quote
Tigerinbamboo Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Posted December 11, 2019 Ted, do you have a picture of your friend's creation? Brian, that rotating link takes me to window shades ???? , but the pool cue rack is pretty cool! The problem with naginata, as opposed to pool cues or rifles, is that the blade makes them extremely top heavy. Quote
SAS Posted December 11, 2019 Report Posted December 11, 2019 A proper design will take the balance into account, in my opinion Quote
