What is the maximum blade length that fits on a standard katana display stand?
Updated Feb 2026
Standard katana display stands in this collection are sized for swords with an overall length in saya of up to approximately 110 to 115 centimeters. This covers the full range of standard katana including those on the longer end of the typical production range. Swords longer than this - notably tachi with blade lengths over 70 centimeters and odachi of any size - will extend beyond the peg span and may not be adequately supported depending on the specific stand. The peg-to-peg span on these stands is approximately 50 to 60 centimeters, which supports swords of standard katana length at the correct balance points. A longer sword may have its tip unsupported if the blade extends significantly past the outer peg. For displaying tachi or odachi, wall-mount brackets with adjustable positioning or a floor stand designed for longer swords provides better support. For standard katana in the typical production length range, the stands in this collection provide correct and stable support without any adaptation.
