Why Blades Raised?

More Than a Display. It's a Statement of Honor.

A military sword is a testament to leadership, earned through years of sacrifice and commitment. But for all its significance, where does it end up? Too often, packed away in a case, moved from one duty station to the next, and stored out of sight.

We believe a symbol of such honor deserves better. Your blade should be raised.

This simple belief is the foundation of our company and the guiding principle behind our design. When you choose Blades Raised, you are choosing a product and a promise built on three core pillars:

1. Design That Honors, Not Outshines

Your sword is the hero, and our design ensures it remains the centerpiece.

Subtle & Purposeful: We intentionally use clean lines and a simple, strong aesthetic. The warm, solid hardwood provides a stunning contrast to the bright steel of the blade, focusing all attention on your heirloom.

Secure & Unobstructed Mounting: Our minimalist dowels hold your sword securely without ever covering the intricate details of the hilt or blade. You see the entire sword, just as it was meant to be seen.

A 'Floating' Presentation: Every display projects slightly from the wall, creating a subtle shadow effect that gives your sword a commanding, three-dimensional presence.

2. Craftsmanship Built for a Military Life

We understand the unique demands of a service member's career because we live it too.

The Perfect Mount for a PCS: We use a French cleat mounting system. It's incredibly strong and makes hanging your display perfectly level simple. More importantly, it’s easy to remove and reinstall, making it the ideal, stress-free choice for families on the move.

Heirloom Quality, Built to Last: We use premium American hardwoods and durable finishes. Our displays aren't just for now—they are built to withstand multiple moves and become a cherished piece of your family's history, passed down for generations.

3. A Brand That Understands Service

We are not a faceless corporation; we are a veteran-owned, family-run business dedicated to the community we serve.

Proudly Made in the USA: Every display is handcrafted with care in Pennsylvania. We believe in American craftsmanship and support other local and small businesses whenever possible.

Unwavering Standards: We inspect every piece before it leaves our workshop to ensure it meets the same high standards of excellence that are expected of our nation's military leaders.

When you choose Blades Raised, you're investing in a piece of American craftsmanship worthy of the service it represents.

We want to be your military sword display company of choice.  We work hard to give you a personalized product that is made with the best materials available.  These sword displays are durable and will stand up to multiple moves and being passed down from generation to generation.

All of our products are proudly made in the U.S.A.  We believe in small business and do our best to source our materials from other local and small businesses.
