Just a super quick post here – we have a couple of S&D swords with minor issues for one of the most popular sword models in the Forge Direct Chinese selection – the Red Ebony Jian..
Red Ebony Jian
One of the swords has a light surface patina developing on a small patch of the blade – otherwise is in as new and unused condition and could fairly easily be polished out if you know what you are doing (click the images to enlarge)
And the other one has a hairline split in the saya caused by exposure to humidity and a small area that is slightly scuffed as pictured below.
Both swords have become casualties of the warmer weather it would seem – but our bad luck is your chance to save a small fortune (plus no waiting time!)..
Price on the first sword with the minor Patina/pitted area is down from $879.99 to just $559.99 (with free shipping) – saving of three hundred and twenty bucks for a few black spots..
And the one with the split scabbard and tiny scuffed area – $499.99 – a saving of $380..
In all honesty, the issues should only really take $50 to $100 off the value, but Forge Direct is no ordinary sword line – and so they are being sacrificed and will be sold on a first come first served basis.
