A sword on a stand takes up a shelf. A sword on the wall takes up nothing, and it is the first thing anyone sees when they walk into the room. This collection covers the two ways of hanging one: bracket mounts that hold the blade horizontally, and handmade wooden shelves that hold it vertically like a holster. Everything here is sized for full length swords, and several of the mounts also hold knives, daggers and short swords. Swords are sold separately.
The bracket mounts come in a black finish. A single sword bracket holds one blade level across the wall, and the tiered versions hold two or three, which is the traditional way to display a katana with its wakizashi and tanto. The three sword mount is also made in natural wood if you would rather not have black against the wall. The dragon wall mount adds a dragon motif for anyone who wants the hardware to be part of the display rather than disappear behind it. The adjustable sword hook mount is the most flexible piece in the collection: it adjusts to carry anything from a knife or short sword up to a katana, longsword or gladius, so the same mount can serve a different blade each year.
The sword shelves are cut from solid poplar and handmade in a Brooklyn woodshop, then finished in satin black. The blade drops into a slot in the top of the shelf and the guard rests on the wood, so the sword hangs point down with the handle sitting proud of the shelf. That keeps the blade in view and hides nothing behind it. Two black poplar shelves are available in different sizes, and the rectangle shelf is offered in oak or mahogany for a room where black would not suit. The shelves fit longswords, Viking swords, katanas, scimitars, cutlasses, Chinese swords, bastard swords and any gladius with a guard. A blade without a guard has nothing to rest on and needs a bracket mount instead.
The handmade shelves come with wall anchors: drill quarter inch holes, tap in the anchors and screw the shelf in place, into drywall or directly into a stud. For any mount carrying a heavy two handed sword, a stud is the safer choice. Check the product page for what is included with each bracket mount.
