I bought a Japanese knife today, and my knowledgeable parents asked me where I should put it.

Japanese knives are usually arranged in two ways: straight knife and horizontal knife. Generally speaking, the knife is placed horizontally and the knife is placed vertically. For example, the knife used by iaido is a knife, which is usually placed like this.

By the way, when you go home, you'd better put all the practice knives on the knife rest and let the handle roll dry after ventilation. If it is kept in the knife bag, the handle roll will be moldy and the hardware will corrode and rust.

Back to the topic, the arrangement like the above picture is right hanging, and most of them use this arrangement now. Because it is a peaceful time, you don't have to draw your sword easily, so you use the right hanging.

The above two pictures are kondou Isami and Naoki (few people should know this, right? )

The way they use it is to hang it on the left. In case of crisis, they can immediately take a knife in their left hand and draw a knife in their right hand to cope with the chaotic times at that time.

Left hanging is rarely used now, and it is not rude to distinguish clearly.

Then big bamboo and big bamboo. Let's just say. Handle down, blade down. Don't put it wrong

Moreover, the knife can also be placed horizontally. At this time, the blade is downward, which is different from hitting the blade upward.

When displaying knives, most of them are placed horizontally. Look at the picture above and you will know that this knife is too big.

How's this? Knife war, of course. When the blade is separated from the blade, it looks like this, with the blade above and the blade below.

What happens when two knives (the big one and the small one) are put together? Just like this, usually the long knife is on the top and the short knife is on the bottom (conversely, the short knife is on the top and the long knife is on the bottom, less)

Does the last picture show Taidao or Daodao? This is "blue lacquered silver flowing water, half the size of a knife", so the blade is facing down, is that clear?
