Following on from our recent update, we’re excited to announce that five new Swordier models have just landed — a mix of historical, fantasy, and Middle‑earth‑inspired blades that mark one of the strongest releases we’ve had in months.

Stock is limited across all models, and several are already seeing early interest, so here’s a quick look at what’s new:

1. Boromir Sword: Functional LOTR‑Inspired Edition

A powerful, forward‑balanced recreation of Boromir’s iconic blade, featuring a sharpened spring‑steel edge, real leather grip, stainless fittings, and a free faux‑leather scabbard. Heavy, noble, and built to perform.

2. Ranger Sword & Companion Dagger: Green Leather Edition

Inspired by Strider’s rugged ranger gear, this long, responsive sword comes paired with a matching dagger. Green leather hilts, stainless fittings, and excellent handling make this a standout Middle‑earth set.

3. Venetian Doge Renaissance Sword: Genuine Leather Scabbard

A richly engraved Renaissance reproduction with floral motifs, a historically accurate ricasso spur, and a genuine leather scabbard. Elegant, authoritative, and perfect for collectors of Italian arms.

4. Renaissance Cinquedea: Floral Engraved Edition

A faithful recreation of the iconic civic sidearm of Northern Italy. Triple‑fuller blade geometry, brass‑accented sandwich‑tang grip, ornate Renaissance engravings, and a faux‑leather scabbard complete the package.

5. “Dark Sister”: Dragon‑Forged Fantasy Replica

A fully functional steel version of one of the most storied Targaryen blades. Pattern‑welded spring‑steel blade, wing‑shaped crossguard, leaf‑flared ricasso, dragon‑themed fittings, and a full dragon‑scale textured scabbard.

Each of these models brings something different to the table — from Renaissance artistry to fantasy legend to Middle‑earth realism — and they represent a major expansion of the Swordier lineup.

More models are on the way, but for now, these five are live and ready to claim. If you’ve been waiting for something new, this is the moment.

Final Closeout: Hanwei Toyotomi Hideyoshi Katana – 50% Off While Stocks Last

By | | ,
Leave a comment

Every now and then, a piece of the sword world’s past resurfaces – not as a re‑release, but as a final opportunity. Today we’re announcing exactly that: the Hanwei Toyotomi Hideyoshi Katana, produced in the original Hanwei factory, is now available in an unprecedented 50% off closeout sale.

This is not a new production run. This is not a restock. This is the last remaining inventory of a discontinued Hanwei model – and once these are gone, they’re gone forever.

A Rare Piece from Hanwei’s Classic Era

The Hideyoshi Katana was one of Hanwei’s more ornate production pieces, created during the period when the original factory was producing some of its most distinctive themed swords. While the historical inspiration behind the model was ambitious, the real strength of this katana lies in its craftsmanship and presentation.

This sword features:

* A 27″ forged blade with bo‑hi on both sides for lighter, faster handling

* A deep black lacquered saya with a clean, elegant finish

* A black cotton ito over white samegawa tsuka

* Gold‑accented, highly detailed fittings

* A tsuba depicting Toyotomi Hideyoshi on one side and Osaka Castle on the reverse

* Matching fuchi and kashira with tea‑ceremony and castle motifs

* Classic Hanwei balance, fit, and finish from their original production era

It’s a visually striking katana – ornate without being gaudy, themed without sacrificing functionality, and unmistakably Hanwei in its build quality.

Final Chance to Own One

This is a limited, last‑chance closeout. Once these Hideyoshi katanas sell out, they will not return — not as a reissue, not as a new batch, not as a future restock.

If you’re a collector, practitioner, or simply someone who appreciates the legacy of Hanwei’s original factory, this is one of the best opportunities you’ll see in years.

50% off. Final stock. No future production. A genuine piece of Hanwei history — available now, for the last time.

Four New Blades Arrive – And an Update on the Long Silence

Leave a comment

It’s been quite a while since our last blog update – July 28, to be exact. The quiet wasn’t intentional, but the reality is that the ongoing deterioration of global economic conditions has made it extremely difficult to offer anything worth blogging about. With sword sales at historic lows and very few new models hitting the market, there simply hasn’t been much to report. No specials, no restocks, no new releases… just a long stretch of waiting.

That finally changes today.

Despite the tough climate, we’re pleased to announce four new blades have just come online – all revived versions of classic Hanwei designs, now returning under their respective new brands.

The New Releases

Tactical Tanto – New & Improved

The classic Hanwei Tactical Tanto returns tougher than ever, retaining its original stout blade profile while adding removable diamond‑checkered G10 slabs and matte‑black fittings. A compact, weather‑ready utility blade built for hard use and easy maintenance.

Tactical Wakizashi – New & Improved

A revived, modernized take on the Tactical Wakizashi. The full‑tang 5160 blade keeps its proven cutting geometry, now enhanced with removable diamond‑checkered G10 slabs and matte‑black stainless fittings. Compact, durable, and ready for real‑world field use.

Dark Sentinel – Revived Edition

The Dark Sentinel returns with its classic Hanwei profile, now under a new brand and built for modern performance. Sleek blacked‑out finish, improved handling, and the same fast, practical cutting geometry that made the original a favorite.

Rhinelander Bastard Sword – Revived Edition

The Rhinelander is back under Kingston Arms with improved balance, a tapered 7″ leather‑wrapped grip, and a smooth peened pommel. Its deep fuller and 5160 blade deliver powerful cuts and strong thrusts, paired with a classic ring‑guard hilt and scent‑stopper pommel. Includes a leather‑wrapped scabbard.

More New Swords Incoming

The good news doesn’t stop here. We have a few more new models arriving over the next week or so, and once they land, we’ll update the blog again with details, photos, and listings.

After a long stretch of silence, it feels good to finally have something new to share — and we appreciate everyone who’s stuck with us through this difficult period.

Stay tuned… more steel is on the way.

Swordier is well known for its blend of craftsmanship, historical fidelity, and fantasy‑inspired artistry — and today, we’re excited to unveil a full lineup of new blades now available through our store. This release spans Renaissance greatswords, Elven legends, shadow‑forged daggers, Braavosi fencing blades, and a refined 17th‑century rapier. Each model is fully functional, forged from quality steels, and crafted with the kind of detail Swordier is becoming famous for.

Flamberge Greatsword

A towering 175 cm flamberge with a wave‑pattern blade, ornate ivy‑engraved extended quillions, and a sharpened 65Mn spring‑steel edge. This is a centerpiece weapon — dramatic, imposing, and built with a long ricasso for half‑swording techniques. A functional Renaissance greatsword with real presence.

Battle Ready “Sting” Sword

One of the finest functional Sting replicas ever produced. A sharpened spring‑steel blade, genuine leather hilt wrap, and a faux‑leather scabbard with ornate, screen‑accurate fittings. Light, quick, and beautifully crafted — a faithful tribute to the blade that followed Bilbo and Frodo through Middle‑earth.

Morgul Dagger

A sinister fantasy dagger with a long 49 cm blade, dark antiqued finish, and a weighty, forward‑driving feel. Sharpened spring steel, pronounced distal taper, and a design that looks like it stepped straight out of the shadows of Minas Morgul. Heavy, menacing, and built to perform.

Blue Glamdring

A premium, fully functional recreation of the legendary Elven sword. Sharpened spring‑steel blade, ornate fittings, and genuine blue leather used for both the hilt and the matching scabbard — a rarity among replicas. Elegant, powerful, and crafted with respect for Elven craftsmanship.

Battle Ready “Needle” Sword

A sleek, lightning‑fast fencing blade inspired by Arya Stark’s Needle. Sharpened 1065 carbon steel, plain wood grip, lacquered wood‑core scabbard, stainless fittings, and a fully peened pommel. Feather‑light at just 539 g, with the quick, precise handling Needle is known for. A superb price for a fully functional Braavosi‑style sword.

17th‑Century Pierced‑Shell Rapier

A refined reproduction of the transitional rapier style seen across England, Germany, and the Low Countries. Pierced shell guard, integrated swept bars, extended quillons, wire‑wrapped grip, turned pommel, and a long 94 cm blade with excellent point control. Elegant, historical, and beautifully balanced.

A New Chapter for Collectors

This release marks one of Swordier’s strongest lineups yet — a blend of historical accuracy, fantasy artistry, and functional steel that appeals to collectors across genres. Whether you favor Elven elegance, Braavosi speed, Renaissance grandeur, or the cold menace of shadow‑forged blades, there’s a model here that belongs in your collection.

Stock is limited for each model, and demand is already rising. These blades ship internationally (not from the USA), with reliable tracking and fast delivery.

Explore the new Swordier lineup and claim your blade while stock lasts.

For more than a decade, AzureForge has been one of the sword industry’s quiet powerhouses. Working behind the scenes as OEM craftsmen, they forged blades for established brands while remaining invisible to the public. Their focus was singular: build exceptional swords, refine their heat‑treating process, and perfect the balance and feel of functional steel.

Now, AzureForge steps forward under their own name.

No hype. No shortcuts. Just honest craftsmanship backed by years of experience. Their AzureX and AzureClassic lines combine modern metallurgy with historical inspiration, offering real‑sword performance at accessible prices. We’re proud to announce our partnership with AzureForge and to introduce the first wave of their blades now available through our store.

The forge is lit. Stay sharp.

New AzureForge Models Now Available

A historically inspired hybrid of XVIIIa and XVIIIc blade geometry, featuring a 65Mn spring steel blade, German writhen stainless fittings, and a leather‑wrapped beech‑wood grip. A powerful two‑handed cutter with authentic medieval presence.

AzureForge® X00 – 38″ Medieval Single‑Handed Sword (AzureX Series)

A compact, lively cutter forged from 60Si2Mn spring steel. Lightweight, balanced, and optimized through multiple iterations for fast handling. Ideal for martial practice and backyard cutting.

AzureForge® X02 – 36″ Viking / Cawood‑Style Arming Sword (AzureX Series)

A transitional design bridging Viking and knightly eras. Broad blade, tight balance, and a classic single‑handed profile. A responsive cutter with historical character.

AzureForge® X03 – 37″ Gothic Writhen‑Guard Arming Sword (AzureX Series)

Featuring a striking twisted Gothic guard reminiscent of late‑15th‑century craftsmanship—and even the cinematic style of Boromir’s sword—this model blends elegance with real cutting performance.

AzureForge® X04 – 37″ Heavy‑Cutting Arming Sword (AzureX Series)

A more substantial single‑handed blade with extended grip and weight‑forward authority. Tight balance and strong cutting power make this a favorite for practitioners who prefer a heavier sword.

Ready to Experience AzureForge?

This first wave of AzureForge blades marks the beginning of a long‑term partnership – and the start of their move from behind‑the‑scenes OEM masters to a forge with its own name, identity, and voice. Each model is handcrafted in limited batches, and early demand is already high. If you want to secure one of these first‑release swords, now is the time.

All AzureForge products ship fast from our US‑based warehouse, with limited stock available for each model. Once these initial production runs are gone, restocks may take time as AzureForge continues refining and iterating their designs.

If you’ve been waiting for a new forge worth paying attention to – one built on real craftsmanship rather than marketing hype – AzureForge has arrived.

Claim your blade while stock lasts. The forge is lit. Stay sharp.
