So I finally managed to get a sword rack for the wall. Takes away much less space than the one I've been using so far. Also looks much nicer IMO. While putting the swords up, I thought I'd take some pics of my collection of high end sharps. I have more swords (training weapons, too) but these are the ones worth showing. Top to bottom: Lukas MG XVIIIa longsword with scabbard Lukas MG XII arming sword Albion Norman Original French 1822 Cavalry Saber with new handle Lukas MG Swiss Degen Customized old Angus Trim longsword Lukas MG tactical sword Except for the XII and the Swiss Degen (which are both for sale), all show signs of use, mainly patinated blades from tatami cutting and some patina on the hilt components from handling. I like seeing this type of aging, it makes it clear that the blades are used but well-cared for. I hope you like it!

Lukas, you do know that when people talk about building a collection, they don't mean you have to build the swords yourself? I really like the longsword at the top. Only problem with the rack is you've got no space for the next sword.

The Degen and the MG Tactical sword are sweet!
And that handle on that saber? That's what I'm talking about! Nice stuff.
