Go Big or Go Home: The Last Chance to Secure Swords at 2024 Prices Ahead of Tariffs and Trade War..

Introduction
The sword market is facing a seismic shift. With new tariffs on Chinese imports set to take effect on May 2, prices are expected to skyrocket by 30-54% on all incoming shipments. If you’ve ever considered expanding your collection or stocking up, this is your last chance to do so before the price surge.

What’s Happening?
The U.S. government has imposed new tariffs on Chinese imports, with rates reaching 54% on swords and all other imported items.

This means that all swords arriving after May 2 will be subject to these increased costs, leading to inevitable price hikes. Additionally, any ‘direct from the forge’ orders—including Project X, Black Dragon Forge, and Swordier—will face delays and additional tariff charges for U.S. customers.


Why Act Now?

  1. Prices are locked at 2024 rates until May 2—after that, expect significant increases.
  2. Stock is limited—once current inventory is gone, restocking will come at a much higher cost.
  3. Tariff-related delays—ordering now ensures faster delivery before the new regulations take effect.

Final Call: Go Big or Go Home

This isn’t just another price adjustment—it’s a fundamental shift in the sword market. Whether you’re a collector, a practitioner, or a reseller, now is the time to secure your swords before the tariffs take effect. Once May 2 arrives, the value of swords will go through the roof.

Don’t wait—shop now and lock in 2024 prices while you still can.

As the Hanwei Forge slowly but surely runs out of their final stock clearance before an eventual reboot later in the year, they have released a few almost forgotten last change Chinese sword gems that were only made in limited quantities to begin with, and who knows when (or if) they will be coming back..

A couple are still available, such as the very last Hanwei Han Sword and the final two Tang Jian (the most affordable of the lot) – but they just added THREE (x3) stunning WOOTZ STEEL Qi Jian – a highly sought after steel and sword design that is guaranteed to delight.

Made of a solid one piece construction that rings like a bell when it hits a target or clears the scabbard, this incredibly unique and sturdy sword design is a must have addition to round out and define to any serious sword collection.

Otherwise, click below to see the final stock of available Hanwei Swords which are indeed poised for comeback, but never at these prices, never quite the same and many designs available for the very last time…

Yes, I know – I’m showing my age with this song, but it could be the theme song of what’s going on at SBG right now..

In addition to major discounts on some of Dragon Kings finest products poised to end one minute before midnight on the 28th of February, at the same time the FINAL shipment from the original Hanwei forge (many of whose workers will move to work Frenchie Jin at Dragon King, which now technically owns the entire Asian Hanwei line) has just arrived..

Not a lot of restocks, though enough so that they should have some original Hanwei stock left in a few more months. But smart buyers are already snapping up the last bargains, some that are going to go so fast it’s not even worth telling you about them because by the time I publish the listing, they will all be sold already..!

So the FINAL COUNTDOWN on these swords come in for the last time really is on…

HAVE AT IT!

Hanwei SALE @ SBG

P.S. In this final sale mayhem, there are a few treasures that have just popped up for the VERY last time.

ORCHID TANTO

It has not been in stock in a looong time, and with half a dozen of these amazing Swedish powder steel blades left, don’t expect them to be around for much longer.

RENAISSANCE DAGGER

This beautiful carbon steel blade with solid, real fittings was to be a new model, but with only 9 available at the time of this blog, it’s going to be very much a case of hello and goodbye.. Just $204.99.

TANG JIAN

Here’s another one not seen in years, and maybe never to be seen again. If you are into serious Taiji or Kungfu, don’t let this one get you by – especially at the closeout price (just 3 left at the time of publishing).

A few more swords from this final Hanwei shipment to be added soon – so stay tuned.. But if you see a bargain and the quality is getting low, just a small delay could mean it gets oversold and you miss the final opportunity..
