After decades of refinement by Clyde Hollis, founder of Generation 2, Legacy Arms, Imperial Arms, and now Kingdom of Arms, the sword he has pursued for years has finally arrived.
The new Kingdom of Arms Excalibur is inspired by the legendary 1981 film interpretation and represents the culmination of a lifelong obsession. Forged from sharpened 5160 spring steel, fitted with solid brass furniture, wrapped with the iconic steel-wire grip, and paired with a premium leather-covered wood-core scabbard, this is more than another movie sword replica. It is the most ambitious Excalibur project Clyde has ever undertaken.
Only 100 Will Ever Exist
This is not an open production item.
Only 100 individually numbered swords are being forged.
Once those one hundred pieces are spoken for, production ends permanently.
No second run. No future edition. No restock.
Worthy of the Legend
At 44.5 inches overall and weighing just 3.25 lbs, the sword offers impressive handling while retaining the commanding presence expected of Excalibur. Every component is crafted by hand, from the forged blade to the polished brass fittings and premium scabbard.
This is a collector’s piece, a functional sword, and a statement all at once.
Available Now
The first batch has just landed, and with only one hundred numbered examples planned worldwide, availability is expected to be extremely limited.
The stone has cracked. The legend has returned. The question is simple: will you be one of the hundred?
When Windlass announced the Heritage Series in 2025, the initial launch was available exclusively through Museum Replicas Ltd. (MRL). The concept was simple: take several proven Windlass classics that collectors had enjoyed for decades and refine them with meaningful upgrades rather than complete redesigns.
Now, we’re pleased to finally bring these upgraded Heritage Series swords to SBG.
Each model benefits from an improved distal taper for quicker, livelier handling, upgraded wood-core scabbards beneath the leather coverings, and historically inspired wet-wrapped leather grips that provide both enhanced authenticity and improved purchase in the hand. These are not new swords, but rather thoughtfully improved versions of designs that have already stood the test of time.
Heritage Pirate Cutlass
A compact, hard-hitting maritime classic with a fully enclosed steel basket hilt and surprisingly lively handling. One of Windlass’ most practical and iconic swords, now upgraded with improved balance and a handsome wood-core scabbard complete with skull-and-crossbones detailing.
Heritage Classic Medieval Sword
For more than three decades, this Oakeshott Type X has been one of Windlass’ most enduring designs. Fast, effective, and unmistakably knightly, the Heritage upgrade makes an already proven cutter feel even more responsive while retaining all the classic medieval character that made it so popular in the first place.
Heritage German Bastard Sword
This elegant Type XVIII longsword combines a long hollow-ground blade, etched wheel pommel, and ornate matching scabbard with the improved handling of the Heritage Series refinements. At just 2 lbs 9 oz, it’s remarkably agile for a sword of its size and an excellent example of late medieval German craftsmanship.
Heritage Irish Medieval Sword
Perhaps the most distinctive sword in the collection. Its flowing S-shaped guard, iconic ring pommel, and deeply fullered blade create a uniquely Irish profile unlike anything else in European sword design. Finished in deep green leather and upgraded throughout, it’s a sword with tremendous personality and performance.
Classic Designs, Modern Refinements
The Heritage Series succeeds because it doesn’t try to reinvent these proven Windlass classics. Instead, it carefully improves the details that matter most to collectors and practitioners while preserving the character that made these swords favorites for decades.
If you’ve admired any of these models in the past, there has never been a better time to experience them.

Following on from our recent update, we’re excited to announce that five new Swordier models have just landed — a mix of historical, fantasy, and Middle‑earth‑inspired blades that mark one of the strongest releases we’ve had in months.
Stock is limited across all models, and several are already seeing early interest, so here’s a quick look at what’s new:
A powerful, forward‑balanced recreation of Boromir’s iconic blade, featuring a sharpened spring‑steel edge, real leather grip, stainless fittings, and a free faux‑leather scabbard. Heavy, noble, and built to perform.
2. Ranger Sword & Companion Dagger: Green Leather Edition
Inspired by Strider’s rugged ranger gear, this long, responsive sword comes paired with a matching dagger. Green leather hilts, stainless fittings, and excellent handling make this a standout Middle‑earth set.
A richly engraved Renaissance reproduction with floral motifs, a historically accurate ricasso spur, and a genuine leather scabbard. Elegant, authoritative, and perfect for collectors of Italian arms.
4. Renaissance Cinquedea: Floral Engraved Edition
A faithful recreation of the iconic civic sidearm of Northern Italy. Triple‑fuller blade geometry, brass‑accented sandwich‑tang grip, ornate Renaissance engravings, and a faux‑leather scabbard complete the package.
5. “Dark Sister”: Dragon‑Forged Fantasy Replica
A fully functional steel version of one of the most storied Targaryen blades. Pattern‑welded spring‑steel blade, wing‑shaped crossguard, leaf‑flared ricasso, dragon‑themed fittings, and a full dragon‑scale textured scabbard.
Each of these models brings something different to the table — from Renaissance artistry to fantasy legend to Middle‑earth realism — and they represent a major expansion of the Swordier lineup.
More models are on the way, but for now, these five are live and ready to claim. If you’ve been waiting for something new, this is the moment.
It’s been quite a while since our last blog update – July 28, to be exact. The quiet wasn’t intentional, but the reality is that the ongoing deterioration of global economic conditions has made it extremely difficult to offer anything worth blogging about. With sword sales at historic lows and very few new models hitting the market, there simply hasn’t been much to report. No specials, no restocks, no new releases… just a long stretch of waiting.
That finally changes today.
Despite the tough climate, we’re pleased to announce four new blades have just come online – all revived versions of classic Hanwei designs, now returning under their respective new brands.
The New Releases
Tactical Tanto – New & Improved
The classic Hanwei Tactical Tanto returns tougher than ever, retaining its original stout blade profile while adding removable diamond‑checkered G10 slabs and matte‑black fittings. A compact, weather‑ready utility blade built for hard use and easy maintenance.
Tactical Wakizashi – New & Improved
A revived, modernized take on the Tactical Wakizashi. The full‑tang 5160 blade keeps its proven cutting geometry, now enhanced with removable diamond‑checkered G10 slabs and matte‑black stainless fittings. Compact, durable, and ready for real‑world field use.
Dark Sentinel – Revived Edition
The Dark Sentinel returns with its classic Hanwei profile, now under a new brand and built for modern performance. Sleek blacked‑out finish, improved handling, and the same fast, practical cutting geometry that made the original a favorite.
Rhinelander Bastard Sword – Revived Edition
The Rhinelander is back under Kingston Arms with improved balance, a tapered 7″ leather‑wrapped grip, and a smooth peened pommel. Its deep fuller and 5160 blade deliver powerful cuts and strong thrusts, paired with a classic ring‑guard hilt and scent‑stopper pommel. Includes a leather‑wrapped scabbard.
More New Swords Incoming
The good news doesn’t stop here. We have a few more new models arriving over the next week or so, and once they land, we’ll update the blog again with details, photos, and listings.
After a long stretch of silence, it feels good to finally have something new to share — and we appreciate everyone who’s stuck with us through this difficult period.
Swordier is well known for its blend of craftsmanship, historical fidelity, and fantasy‑inspired artistry — and today, we’re excited to unveil a full lineup of new blades now available through our store. This release spans Renaissance greatswords, Elven legends, shadow‑forged daggers, Braavosi fencing blades, and a refined 17th‑century rapier. Each model is fully functional, forged from quality steels, and crafted with the kind of detail Swordier is becoming famous for.
Flamberge Greatsword
A towering 175 cm flamberge with a wave‑pattern blade, ornate ivy‑engraved extended quillions, and a sharpened 65Mn spring‑steel edge. This is a centerpiece weapon — dramatic, imposing, and built with a long ricasso for half‑swording techniques. A functional Renaissance greatsword with real presence.
Battle Ready “Sting” Sword
One of the finest functional Sting replicas ever produced. A sharpened spring‑steel blade, genuine leather hilt wrap, and a faux‑leather scabbard with ornate, screen‑accurate fittings. Light, quick, and beautifully crafted — a faithful tribute to the blade that followed Bilbo and Frodo through Middle‑earth.
Morgul Dagger
A sinister fantasy dagger with a long 49 cm blade, dark antiqued finish, and a weighty, forward‑driving feel. Sharpened spring steel, pronounced distal taper, and a design that looks like it stepped straight out of the shadows of Minas Morgul. Heavy, menacing, and built to perform.
Blue Glamdring
A premium, fully functional recreation of the legendary Elven sword. Sharpened spring‑steel blade, ornate fittings, and genuine blue leather used for both the hilt and the matching scabbard — a rarity among replicas. Elegant, powerful, and crafted with respect for Elven craftsmanship.
Battle Ready “Needle” Sword
A sleek, lightning‑fast fencing blade inspired by Arya Stark’s Needle. Sharpened 1065 carbon steel, plain wood grip, lacquered wood‑core scabbard, stainless fittings, and a fully peened pommel. Feather‑light at just 539 g, with the quick, precise handling Needle is known for. A superb price for a fully functional Braavosi‑style sword.
17th‑Century Pierced‑Shell Rapier
A refined reproduction of the transitional rapier style seen across England, Germany, and the Low Countries. Pierced shell guard, integrated swept bars, extended quillons, wire‑wrapped grip, turned pommel, and a long 94 cm blade with excellent point control. Elegant, historical, and beautifully balanced.
A New Chapter for Collectors
This release marks one of Swordier’s strongest lineups yet — a blend of historical accuracy, fantasy artistry, and functional steel that appeals to collectors across genres. Whether you favor Elven elegance, Braavosi speed, Renaissance grandeur, or the cold menace of shadow‑forged blades, there’s a model here that belongs in your collection.
