Well, this is my modest collection from left to right in the 1st Pic. I thought I was done collecting Katana’s 6 swords ago. I think I have my walls presenting themes with a variety of Katana’s. I built most of the vertical wall stands from red oak.
SBG - Black Dragon Katana (T-10)
9260 - Differentially Hardened Kaze Katana (9260)
Hattori - Art Folded Katana 2203 (Folded Steel)
Hanwei - Raptor Katana Moroha (5160)
Musashi - 1060 Clay Tempered Samurai Sword (1060)
Oren Ishii - Functional Snowflake Shirasaya Sword (1060)
2615 Ikazuchi - Katana with Hardwood Handle (Damascus)
Shinwa Purple - Knight Katana Damascus Sword (Damascus)
Handmade Kill Bill - Bill's Samurai Katana Sword (H/C)
Handmade Kill Bill - Bride's Samurai Katana Sword (H/C)
Practical Musashi - Samurai Katana Sword (H/C)
Japanese Shirasaya - Samurai Katana Sword (H/C)
Musashi Zetsurin - Samurai Katana Sword (H/C)
The rest of the pic’s show how I display them.

Very Nice collection you have going there, As you said you thought you were done a few swords ago, been there ummm. to many times to remember. I really like the presentation display, nice touches gives the room a certain feel, Kudos !
Having an 8 yr old a display like that wouldn't fly with wife & make me worry with daughter in my house lol. But Very nice job on Kat Kraze & the whole display set up

Thanks for the comments. The vertical Oak displays took a while to finish but I enjoy woodworking. I added the “girly stuff” so that when ladies come over they wont be totally overwhelmed with just the swords and maybe think that I may have a softer side.

My softest side is stainless steel.
I did it. Don’t do it. Ok for kitchen knives but not for a sword.
My 3rd purchase was the Kill Bill (Bill and Bride cheap Stainless set). I sharpened the blades with the AccuSharp that I read about here on SBG. It worked quite well and I finished with coarse and fine DMT Diafold sharpeners. They both passed the paper test but when I took one out to the back yard to do a little brush and branch removal... Big mistake. I found the blade was bent in two different directions. It took many hours to straighten and clean up. These are now, one in each of my two vehicles and will see no more cutting action unless I run across zombies on the road. No pics of these, but the pair was only $50.

Hi Groo,
I bought the Raptor when it was on closeout sale and it is one of my favorites due to its distinctive shape, double bo-hi, double edge and the highly curved blade. I guess it may be my favorite but I really like the Black Dragon and the Kaze.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
