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.
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.
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.
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 This offer can be withdrawn at any time.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.
First piece of good news – as some people needed some more time, the Flash Sale on the Custom Katana has been extended for a few more days (no set timeline – just waiting on a few folk to finalize some choices via email), but at the same time a new one has just begun – and we will continue to offer some additional very limited duration, very high discount deals over the course of April!

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:

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
*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.
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.
