Are you looking for a dignified place for your Japanese knife that highlights its beauty while keeping it secure? This wooden Tanto stand is designed precisely for enthusiasts of oriental weaponry who appreciate minimalism and functionality.

The glossy black lacquer finish adds a touch of luxury and creates a perfect contrast to the steel blade and decorated scabbard of your Tanto. Give your weapon the presentation it deserves and keep your space organized in the spirit of Samurai traditions. You will primarily use this stand for displaying Japanese Tanto daggers, but thanks to its design, other short bladed weapons, such as historical daggers or smaller utility knives, will also find their place here. Installation is simple – just place the stand on a flat surface and carefully lay the weapon into the shaped cradles. Ensure the weapon sits balanced in the sword rack to prevent it from tipping over. Further product information ...

Historical Context and Fun Facts
In Japanese culture, a weapon was never just a tool of destruction, but also a work of art and a bearer of family honour. Kake (sword stands) evolved as an essential accessory for the correct storage of blades. The Tanto, as a samurai's companion weapon, was often displayed separately in private quarters or near the bed for personal protection. Interestingly, the way you place the weapon in the stand carries meaning: a hilt pointing to the left usually signified peaceful intent, while a hilt to the right indicated readiness for an immediate draw in case of danger.
Care and Safety Instructions
To keep the stand in perfect condition for a long time, simply wipe it regularly with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth that won't scratch the glossy lacquer. Avoid using aggressive chemicals or solvents. Do not place the stand near sources of radiant heat (radiators, fireplaces), as this could cause the wood or lacquer to crack.
Things to watch out for:
- The stand is not intended for long swords like Katanas – there is a risk of instability and damage to both the weapon and the stand.
- If you own a sharp Tanto, handle it with extreme caution when placing it in the stand to prevent cuts or scratching the lacquer with the edge.
- Ensure the stand is placed on a firm surface out of reach of children and pets.
As an ideal accessory, we recommend purchasing a blade cleaning kit with Choji oil so that your Tanto always shines perfectly on this stand.
