Black Dragon Forge
Launched in 2007 with two custom-made Katanas, the Official SBG Black Dragon Forge quickly rose to prominence and is now back in business! Our collaboration with Shen Guanglong Forge—an esteemed Longquan forge and the official supplier of professional Wushu gear in China—has resulted in a diverse collection of exclusive designs by Sword Buyers Guide editor-in-chief Paul Southren.
From our unique patented designs to fully functional fantasy swords, the Black Dragon Forge embodies the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Disappointed that the official replica from 2024 was a stainless steel hallhanger, we inspired the Black Dragon forge to make an equally beautiful, but battle ready longsword in 1095 carbon steel that Altair would be proud of. Like the official version, it comes without a scabbard and is only slightly more expensive for a whole lot more fun..
