Will this hold a katana or a wakizashi?

Yes. I had to look up the two swords just to speak to your question. I have a short sword and with the sheath, it fits in the frog quite nicely.

That is what I'm using it for. I think you'll find it works for scabbards of swords that size, but nothing thin like a rapier.

It depends upon the design. The frog was designed to hold a scabbard with at least a minimal lip (the frog can be tied tightly under the lip). So if your scabbard for your Katana or wakizashi has a lip on it ,it should work. If your thinking about it just holding the sword, if the sword is sharp (not LARP) then the frog may not hold up very well. But I have been pleased with mine.

It holds mine. Mine are Noritake, Rhythm. The dimensions on the website will tell you the height. Measure yours to be sure the storage container is high enough. You will be extremely pleased!

It depends upon how thick your knife handle bars are. I measured our holder with our knives and it was 3 inches exactly but when I rearranged our knives and put the thinner handled knives on top, it was exactly 2 7/8 inches. So the long and short is that it would be extremely tight.

I don't know exactly. it was a gift for my boyfriend, but i know it's a full size katana for adults and it's heavy.

I agree with Zach, the width should be the only question and it adjusts fairly wide. I have a 40" long Katana that I use it for and it would work on even longer.

They will both fit but mine have already pierced through the sheath. The shoulder strap is not very long. I do really like the knives themselves.

It depends on which 2 handed katana machete. I have the newer, longer katana machete and that sheath is pretty much identical to this sheath except it is about 2 1/2" longer. So if you have the shorter 2 handed katana machete it should fit. Hope this helps.

It should fit and be secured with no problem. It's really not much of a sheath though, but more of a carry harness for a blade and sheath. I wouldn't expect to be able to remove your bokken from the harness on your back with a pull of the handle. If you just want a way to carry your bokken around on your back, this item should work fine. If you're looking for something to allow you to carry it and bring it from the carry to a ready/fighting position, you'll probably want to look elsewhere. This item seems like it works best securing a scabbard that holds an actual blade.

The Swordsmiths of Japan put in two pegs of Bamboo in the handle, and then some do not. It depends on the Katana and the maker, and the length of the weapon. Do the reasearch, you'll be amazed the information that you can find on your own. Some folks have never handled a Katana much less had one in front of themselves. And they give false information that was never asked for to begin with...remember this is the internet,and we still have Libraries out there. Or find someone that owns a Katana and grill them for answers.

Yes. But like any blade it will eventually wear it down. Also take into account the price. If you really are looking for a true katana you will be putting out some dough!

depends on how skinny it is. My sword is pretty skinny and the belt fit it fine so you should be okay.

I have a bread knife that size. :) The knife holder will only fit 7 knives of that size. It alternates between large knives and small knives.

I don't see why not. These stands are universal and as long as you can balance it anything can be displayed. Lightsabers, Shinai, Katanas and it's smaller and larger counterparts, I've seen people display European longswords on these. I think the only weapon you might have trouble mounting on this would be a fencing foil and a rapier, as their weight distribution is kinda odd.

only if there is no other choice.... no disrespect to this tool but IF you have a GENUINE katana, you do not want to defile it with any small sharpening tool. Even If you have a fake katana, you should get a proper stone to apply proper sharpening .... so short answer is.... NO

The sheath bought for my Bokken was the Japanese Katana Bokken Shinai Foam Sword Mini Nylon Carrying Case Sheath. It works great. Easily pulled out and with a little practice put right back in. The plus is its only $7.99 +free shipping through Armory Replicas.

Both. There are slots that accommodate longer knives. You will be satisfied.
