Attaches via magnets that are adjustable in height. Direct blade contact is extremely strong, through scabbard depends on shape (flat surface very solid, convex can slip to sides) and thickness of material. The example here is very secure. For earthquake I would be more worried of the stand toppling, particularly for longer pieces. These are heavy metal plates but I would want heavier for your case. These stands came from a well known French collector of African swords.
