Swordier Does it Again!

Swordier proudly unveils the new Oakeshott Type XVIIIb hand and a half sword—a competition-grade weapon built to bite deep and never let go. Crafted from perfectly tempered 65mn spring steel, this blade isn’t just beautiful—it’s lethal. With its precise balance, sharpened edge, and hand-stitched leather grip, it’s a cut above anything in its class.

But let’s talk brass tacks: Yes, tariffs are up.

No, the price isn’t.

We’re absorbing the extra costs and taking the long road—shipping first by sea to our U.S. warehouse, clearing customs, and only then sending it straight to your doorstep. It might take a little longer, but trust us… the value is sharper than ever.

And the scabbard? It’s not a bonus—it’s a showstopper.

Hand-stitched, premium leather, and for $349.95 for the whole package – worth the price of admission on its own!!!

Own the steel. Wield the legend. Preorders open—claim yours before they vanish like fog on a battlefield...

Defying the trend – the super affordable Horimono Series is Back!

After nearly two months of frozen shipping lanes, we’re thrilled to announce the triumphant return of the Ryujin Horimono Series—a lineup of five uniquely styled swords, each featuring a striking Dragon Horimono engraving on the blade.

Crafted from 65Mn Spring Steel, these blades are built for toughness, resilience, and real functionality—without the jaw-dropping price tag that’s becoming all too common in the industry. In a time when tariffs and uncertainty have sent sword prices soaring, the Horimono Series stands as a bold defiance against inflation—offering premium craftsmanship for under $100.

Whether you’re a collector, a practitioner, or just someone looking for a high-quality sword that won’t break the bank, these blades deliver in style, durability, and affordability.

UPDATE 7th June: After you guys asked for it, and considering all the price rises and trade war blues that has dominated 2025 so far, we have lowered the price back to just $79.95

But fair warning: we don’t know how long we can hold this price. With stock replenished and demand rising, this is your golden opportunity to claim a Horimono blade before the winds of trade shift again.

Don’t miss out—grab yours now while they last!

A small but significant restock..

As the trade war flickered off—only to roar back to life within 24 hours—a handful of swords from two major brands managed to slip through the gauntlet. Despite the brief tariff suspension at customs, the shipment still faced a much heftier duty than ever before. The silver lining? It wasn’t the dreaded 145% and it did NOT raise the price for customers… Small victories, right?

This marks one of the first restocks since the industry was effectively frozen by the April 2nd announcement. While it wasn’t a major shipment, any sword that makes it through is a hard-fought win for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

In times like these, we welcome every scrap of good news with open arms.

So here they are—three newly restocked swords, fresh from the forge and ready to find their rightful place in your collection:

Kingston Arms Scottish Claymore – Brown Leather

Legacy Arms Roman Gladius

Legacy Arms Maintz Gladius

Quick Hanwei Update (Vanishing Blades)

While a few brands have managed to push stock back onto the shelves, Hanwei is seeing the opposite—its swords are disappearing faster than ever. And the worst part? We have no idea when (or even if) some of them will be restocked.

Restocks will be handled on a case-by-case, model-by-model basis, and any future pricing remains uncertain. This means that if you don’t grab these swords now, there’s no telling when your next opportunity will come—if it comes at all.

Here are a few models that are on the brink of selling out (indeed, it is happening so fast now that one item has become sold out as I was typing this out!):

Hanwei Shinobi – LAST ONE

Hanwei L6 Bainite Oni Katana – LAST FOUR

Hanwei Celtic – DOWN TO LAST 5

If you’ve been eyeing one of these blades, now’s the time—before they become relics of a bygone era.
