What better time to escape the hard light of day and the trade war blues with some new Barbaric swords inspired by the works of Robert E Howard and Conan the Cimmerians “Hyborian age”?
The first has been in development for several months – and while it is launching at a less than ideal time (as this sword is coming hot from the Black Dragon Forge in Longquan and thus, will probably have some teething issues with the Tariffs as they hit individual parcels from May 2nd and are already somewhat disrupted) – it is available with FREE international shipping, so worldwide shipping is possible.
The sword in question, the curved and viciously pointed swords of the Hyrkanians as carried by Conan’s friend and companion, Subotai and comes with a free synthetic fur barbarian scabbard for good measure!
HYRKANIAN SWORD OF SUBOTAI
As with all Black Dragon Fantasy swords, it not only looks the part but is 100% functional in every aspect and is a fierce cutting sword in its own right!
ATLANTIS SWORD – DOOMSDAY #11
The second Conan sword is of course 100% tariff free, being hand made by Chris Palmer in Missouri and also made from 1095 carbon steel, starting with a blank and drilling the holes for the pins that will secure it all together..
The blade is then roughly shaped and heat treated to approximately 1500 degrees, until it becomes non magnetic and then quenched in brine (salt water). The 2nd step is Heat Tempering, which consists of heating the steel to 500 degrees for 2 hours, and letting it air cool. This makes for a Rockwell Hardness of approximately 57 and gives these Scorpion Swords the amazing strength and durability they are noted for.
The blade is then given a final polish and sharpened up before the wooden handle is pinned and epoxied in place and the sword finally ready after 3-5 to be shipped to the customer.
And here it is completed!
Not bad considering its sub $300 price point – and easily one of the toughest and most brutal Conan tribute swords made to date!
