Stand for naginata

[Tigerinbamboo]

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.

I did a Google search for Naginata kake and found a reasonable wall mounted stand for naginata for under $70. Two set $140...

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

Any idea on dimensions, Kathleen? I can check my wood stock and maybe we can come up with something.....

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.

You could look at rifle racks.

How about a pool cue rack?

A pool cue rack just might work...

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.

Jealous Kathleen...5 naginata? Still after my first one. Love to see pics when you have time.

Or even rotating...

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.

I can do something in Hawaiian Koa wood within your budget, Kathleen; pm me if interested in discussing it.

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.

A proper design will take the balance into account, in my opinion
