It has always bothered me that I don’t have my sheaths displayed with my knives, after all, most of them are just as much art as the knives. Yet I could never find a display solution that respected both. After almost a year of searching, I gave up and started designing my own.

I envisioned a vertical display that was minimal in parts but maximal in capability – something that could hold everything from a 6 inch Sting dagger to a 24-inch machete. It had to be fully adjustable, easily disassembled, and capable of holding knives with all kinds of grip sizes. The most exciting epiphany I had while designing, was to create a magnetic front trim piece that when attached to the base can sandwich a card stock data plate. I instantly saw the potential: custom knife specs, logos, maker info – all presented cleanly right on the stand.

After two years of meticulous design, development, and prototyping, I’m proud to finally release this passion project: a modular, link-able museum-quality knife display stand built for serious collectors and craftsmen.

Key Features:

Elegant Angled Front Trim – Made for Your Custom Data Plate
The centerpiece of the design. This magnet-attached angled trim piece not only adds visual balance, it also allows you to insert a card stock data plate between the trim and the base – perfect for maker info, collection notes, or technical specs.

Magnetic Base System
Strong rare-earth magnets embedded in the base allow multiple stands to lock together for modular, museum-style arrangements. Display multiple knives in a row – or connect two stands front-to-back to showcase a knife and its sheath together.

Fully Adjustable Arms
Designed to accommodate blades of all shapes and sizes. The stand offers secure, balanced support for small and large knives. The largest I have tried is my 24 inch machete with absolutely with exceptional balance and stability.

Sheath-Friendly Arm Design
The arm hole pattern allows for various sheath types to be mounted alongside the blade – because the sheath deserves to be seen, too.

Reversible Retaining Hook
Custom-designed to support both small and large grips, the hook rests at a 10° angle to match the knife’s natural posture and ensure maximum contact and presentation appeal.

UV- and Acid-Free Acrylic
Crafted from museum-grade materials to protect your knife and sheath from long-term degradation while offering pristine visual clarity.

Every aspect of this stand is the result of obsessive attention to detail, built to highlight the craftsmanship of your blade while offering flexibility, durability, and elegance. Whether you’re presenting a one-of-a-kind custom, a historical piece, or your own knife-making masterpiece, this stand is designed to do your knife justice.

Display with pride. Display with purpose.
Your knives deserve it.
