I was inspired by Katana case shi and had a local manufacturer make me such a showcase
Dustproof doors - I have my blades displayed in a showcase for a long time without oil and since we are a inland country, there is no problem with the blades at all

That looks very tasteful and high end!

Funny how most of these topics come up over and over again but I don't mind showing my case I had made with locking sliding glass doors and LED lights !

Nice display mate! Here's my mounting solution...used the old attic sliding ladder i've had laying around forever and it works pretty damn good.

Acrylic case does the job. Im buying a few now.

This is my display case, I’m still finishing it and need to hang it on the wall. It is almost hermetic, and has an hygrometer and a silica gel compartment to control humidity.

Here is mine. I ordered it online to custom dimensions, then added the black felt and LED lights. My stupid phone started doing this thing months ago, where it adds yellow or blue thick ghost stripes to an image, so forgive the blue tinge everything has - totally not like that IRL. Also weird how my plastic Torokusho sleeve fluoresces. I live in the California desert so humidity is not a problem and it's super easy to raise the left side of the display cover up and remove the blade as needed to oil. It's not a perfect seal so it won't develop its own micro-climate, but it's sealed enough that it should be near dust-free (which my whole house nearly is anyway since I have no pets). 

 

Anyway, the LED spotlights do an amazing job making the contrasts and textures of the blade stand out, even from across the room. This is on a mantle above a fireplace I don't use (there is a Ducati SBK parked in front of it), so the display is at eye level and higher, so you can walk right up to the blade and it's perfect height to let the light play off it as you move around.

Here is my little display setup. Pretty simple but does the job. I got these display cases for free from my work place, which is pretty nice.

I don't really like that white background though, so I need to do something about it at some point.

Showing my case built with a friend, then I added every other element. All from cheap chinese seller (except the stones) : the leds, the handle to open the display case, the stands, the wide white satin sheet, the hygrometer and anti humidity silk bags.
