Tachi kake

[Stephen]

I have a lonely kake in corner of house. 

If you were to use it for this navy sword, how would you mount it? Dguard down and out or in? Or tsuka at the top?

[DTM72]

I don't think the flat saya tip would stay very well in the indentation of the base...plus it may be top heavy. I would think D-Handle down would fit and work better.

 

Or...get a mounted tachi...

[Stephen]

I knew the latter response was coming LOL

 

Tks for your input.

[Haon]

For looks? Guardian to the viewer and tip downwards, maybe even place the whole thing at an angle that you don't look flat at the guard. 

For stability and practicability, as DTM72 already said, maybe the D-Guarf towards the kake itself for balance.

 

Best regards

I would do D-Handle down, bow facing towards me.
