Every so often, a new batch of blades arrives that reminds us why we love this craft – the artistry, the engineering, the history, the sheer presence of steel brought to life. Today is one of those days.

We’re thrilled to announce four brand‑new Swordier releases, each one a standout in its own right.

Whether you’re a collector, a practitioner, or someone who simply appreciates exceptional craftsmanship, these pieces represent some of the best value we’ve ever offered.

Let’s take a closer look.

The Ornate Zweihander – A Renaissance Titan Reborn

This is not just a big sword – it’s a statement. A towering Zweihander with ornate tri‑pointed quillon terminations, elegant steel fittings, and the kind of battlefield presence that defined the 16th‑century Doppelsöldner.

If you’ve ever wanted a Zweihander that blends historical intimidation with refined craftsmanship, this is the one.

The Fast and Elegant Viking Sword

This Viking sword is the opposite of the clumsy stereotypes often seen in movies. It is quick, balanced and visually striking, with a wire wrapped leather grip and engraved stainless fittings that echo authentic 10th century craftsmanship. The pattern welded blade feels alive in the hand and moves with a speed and precision that surprises everyone who picks it up. It is a beautiful reminder of what Viking swords truly were: fast, deadly and crafted with care.

Elite Series Type XXa with Pattern Welded Blade

The first of our two Elite Series releases is a Type XXa longsword that showcases a pattern welded blade paired with a genuine leather, wood core scabbard decorated with detailed floral embossing. The craftsmanship is exceptional from the blade’s rippling steel to the refined fittings and the lively point of balance. This is a collector grade sword offered at a price that feels almost unreal for the level of detail involved.

Elite Series Type XXa Variant with Engraved Fittings

The second Elite Series sword offers a different style of refinement. It features a clean monotempered spring steel blade, an engraved fishtail pommel and an ornate guard. The scabbard is a standout piece on its own with colored floral embossing on genuine leather over a wood core. The overall look is that of a custom commissioned sword, yet it remains accessible and fully functional.

💥 Introductory Special on the Elite Series 💥

To celebrate the launch, both Elite Series longswords are available at fifty dollars off for a limited introductory period. This offer can be withdrawn at any time. Once the initial batch is gone, the price returns to normal. If you have been waiting for a high end piece without the high end price tag, this is the moment to act.

Final Thoughts

These four new Swordier releases represent some of the finest craftsmanship and value we have ever offered. From the towering Zweihander to the lightning fast Viking sword to the two Elite Series masterpieces, each blade brings something unique and compelling. If one of them speaks to you, do not wait. The Elite discounts will not last and interest in all four pieces is already high.

They are available now and they are spectacular.

Ends midnight Easter Sunday

For Easter weekend only, we’re doing something we almost never do with one of our flagship blades: $100 off the SBG Black Dragon Forge Custom Katana – reborn in its 4th generation and back better than ever.

Forged from differentially hardened T10 tool steel with a natural, prominent hamon, this is not a wallhanger. It’s a serious, dojo‑ready blade built for performance, then wrapped in a level of customization that’s frankly ridiculous:

23,537,664 possible configurations across blade length, blade style, tsuba, fittings, rayskin, wrap color and style, saya, and sageo. Whether you’re a martial artist, collector, or long‑time SBG regular, you can dial in a sword that actually feels like yours.

You can choose:

*Blade length: from compact 22″ all the way up to 30″ for taller practitioners

*Blade style: three profiles to match your cutting and aesthetic preferences

*Fittings & furniture: 24 tsuba, multiple habaki, fuchi, menuki, and saya options

*Handle & wrap: rayskin color, 9 ito colors, 2 wrap styles, and 7 sageo colors

Every choice is made step‑by‑step on the product page -no guesswork, no mystery. Just a custom‑built, T10‑bladed katana with free worldwide shipping and, until midnight Easter Sunday, $100 off.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to design your own Black Dragon Forge custom, this is it. Once the clock rolls past Easter Sunday, the deal is gone.

New Arrivals, New Clarity – Meet the Updated Hanwei Practical Lineup

We’ve just received a fresh shipment of Hanwei’s newest Practical‑series katana, and this batch brings some long‑awaited upgrades: the Practical XL Light, Practical Elite, Practical Pro Elite, and the Practical Plus XL Light have all landed. These models expand the Practical family in smart ways – more blade options, more performance tiers, and more ways to match a sword to your training style.

To make things easier for everyone, we’ve also reorganized the entire Practical lineup into a simple, intuitive system. Instead of guessing what “Elite,” “Plus,” or “XL Light” means, you can now understand each sword at a glance. The Classic Practical models are your everyday dojo workhorses.

The Elite blades widen the profile for stronger, more confident cuts.

And the XL / XL Light series delivers pure cutting performance for soft‑target tameshigiri, from heavy power cutters to fast, razor‑sharp lightweights.

Each model now has a clear identity, a one‑line purpose, and a consistent set of specs so you can compare them instantly.

Whether you’re upgrading your training sword or exploring the Practical series for the first time, this new structure makes it easier than ever to find the blade that fits your hands, your goals, and your cutting style. Dive in – the new generation is here.

IRONWOLF Battle Ready Andúril
The IRONWOLF Andúril is back and ready for battle, offering a fully functional 65Mn spring steel blade paired with screen‑accurate details from hilt to scabbard.

A standout piece for fans and functional sword enthusiasts.

Ryujin 65Mn Tiberius Mainz Gladius
The Ryujin Tiberius Mainz Gladius has returned, bringing exceptional value with its fully functional 65Mn spring steel blade and ornate fittings inspired by the most famous surviving Roman gladius.

Ryujin 1045 Carbon Steel Sword of Mulan
The Ryujin Sword of Mulan is back in stock and on special, featuring a fully functional hand‑forged 1045 carbon steel blade modeled after the 2020 film design.
