Archived Swords
In our experience, there is nothing more frustrating than wasting time looking at swords that are out of stock or discontinued. So when we have some swords that are discontinued or look like they will be out of stock for a long time, we put them here..
All the swords listed on this page are currently unavailable to purchase. Some of them are limited edition offers, others discontinued products or simply products that have been out of stock for so long that they seem unlikely to return.
All are archived here for reference accordingly.
