Where can I get a good sword rack?

[TTyMiller]

I currently have three swords and would now like to display them, can anyone give me advise on a good rack for displaying my swords. I see a 5 sword rack on ebay, cough cough. Japanese Cedar Wood SAMURAI KATANA Sword Kake Rack Stand yoroi kabuto Set #5 but I'm not certain if it's worth the $620.00. I don't mind paying for quality as I'm certain I have at least two more Nihontos in my near future.

 

Any advise on where to purchase and type is greatly appreciated.

I am sure Brock Lusk on the NMB could make you one at a good price. He made a nice kabuto stand for me a while back.

I'll go with you and your guy, what is his info?

Terry, are you looking for a "real" katanakake or just something to hold your swords on the wall?

 

If the latter, check out http://www.amazon.com/8-Tier-Wall-Sword ... B001F4OTJ8, which holds eight swords for $29.86 with free shipping. If you want a little higher quality, browse to http://www.e-bogu.com/Sword-Stand-s/65.htm.

 

Don't know why you had so much trouble finding a rack....

Another point you may actually want to think about is the number of swords on the rack - I wouldnt want more than 3 and in a push 4 on an unattached rack - on the wall is fine but free standing when you reach for one it is really easy to tip the whole thing over and that can be not a pretty site !

Thanks for all of the responses. It was not that I was having a hard time finding a rack I was just uncertain as to the kind and quality I should look for. Brian, thanks for the tip no pun intended. The wife is good with a wall rack so I guess that's the direction I'll take. Thanks again.
