Special Reintroduction: Feathersteel and Spinsteel Swords

But wait, there’s more! We’re thrilled to reintroduce two exotic steel swords using and advanced and rarely seen folding techniques made by one of our favorite Master Sword Smiths, Master Michael Ye. Both Spinsteel and Feathersteel (also known as Windsteel, as the pattern looks like the wind blowing on the surface of a lake) are highly complex and rather rare forging techniques that Master Ye specializes in.

Here the steel revolves as it is folded and pattern welded – with a consistent ‘feathered’ or ‘wind surface’ pattern for a Feathersteel/Windsteel blade or in the case of Spinsteel, mixing more traditional Damascus with Feathersteel for the most eye pleasing, complex pattern.

The technique when done by a Master Smith results in a beautiful and yet still VERY strong blade, take a look at this video made for a limited edition Windsteel blade by Master Ye tested destructively against a wide variety of traditional and challenging targets..

And the best part is, they are ALSO on sale until the end of the month, allowing anyone who is fast enough to snap them up at the very best price humanly possible..

Golden Dragon Feathersteel Jian

With a refined Otcagonal profile blade and fine Feathersteel patterning from the hilt to the tip, the Golden Dragon Feathersteel Jian is a forceful and impressive sword with attractive Dragon themed fittings. The usual price on this beauty is $1,599.99 but is available with a 25% discount of $399.99 until the end of the month.

Spinsteel Jian

This one is the most complex of the two, alternating a Feathersteel pattern by rotating (spinning) the steel as it is folded and pattern welded into shape. It’s incredibly hard to make and only a handful of smiths still know how to make it – so if you want something truly unique to add to your collection, the Spinsteel Jian would have to be it. Because it is so hard to make, the price reflects this and it is normally $2,299.99. However until the end of the month you can save $575 with 25% off..

NEW Excalibur Sword from Legacy Arms

You might recall that until a few days ago, Legacy Arms was offering the original Excalibur sword at a crazy sub $300 closeout price, And for those of you who were lucky to snap up the last few models before it was permanently discontinued, you definitely got a massive bargain.

But as the original model fades from view, a new one from the new Legacy Arms comes into play – and boy have they refined it and given it more than a shot or two of Ozempic..!

For the current version weighs a whopping 2lbs 1oz LESS than the original which tipped the scales at 5lbs 3oz while the refined new version has a much slimmer profile with distal taper (6mm at the guard down to 2mm at the tip) and shifts the balance point half an inch even closer to the hilt for truly amazing handling for such a long and powerful blade..

But the improvements don’t end there, overall it is just a much better sword..!

Considering the blade of the new model is just 1.5″ shorter but weighs just 3lbs 2oz is something of a miracle and makes it much more authentic and deadly than ever before.

Check it out in the store for all the juicy details:

And HERE is the listing of the discontinued model so you can do your OWN comparison..

Euro Model #14: Fishtail Pommel Arming Sword

Man at Arms Renaissance Sword and Main Gauche Package Deal from Kingdom of Arms!

I must admit to being a little skeptical of the Man at Arms series from Kingdom of Arms at first. While they were designed as budget blades made to the specifications of Bruce Brookhart made at one of the best forges in India, I kind of fobbed it off because one of the limitations of Indian forges is that they are prohibited to ship blades with sharpened edges, and that means not being able to just take it out of the box and use it straight away.

However, as interest in the elegant blades of the Renaissance era continues to increase in 2024 and Indian export law doesn’t say a darned thing about how pointy an export can be, Indian tempering expertise and affordability lends them to making a faithful and very lethal replica of thrusting blades such as rapiers, and that is exactly what the latest offering from Kingdom of Arms Man At Arms Series has brought to the table, a very attractive and affordable (and ambidextrous) 17th century Rapier along with a companion main gauche available as a discounted package deal!

The Rapier is available for $359 (discounted down from $389) HERE and the Main Gauche sold separately for a very reasonable $144 (marked down from $169) HERE, but if you order the rapier there is an option to have the Main Gauche included as a package deal for just $68.55 more..!

Definitely a bargain, and did we mention that no matter which way you want to swing it, it comes with FREE SHIPPING!?
