Steel, Spirit, and a Vanishing Price—Last Chance on the Ryujin Horimon Series..

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

The Ryujin Horimono Series was never meant to be ordinary. From the etched motifs that whisper of dragons, guardians, and forgotten rituals—to the precision-forged blades built for battle and beauty—the soul of each sword pulses with purpose.

But even legends bow to reality. With razor-thin margins and post-tariff pressures, the $79.95 price is being held together by sheer force of will—and it’s slipping away.

This is your final window: now through July 21st (midnight EST), you can secure one of the last Ryujin Horimono blades at the original “special” price—the one forged during better days. After that, the trade winds take over…

Myth, meet market forces. Choose your blade, support the legacy, and strike before the price ascends (because even when they go back to $100 a pop, they are still crazy good value – but at the current price, just an absolute steal)..

The Last of Rock Creek Knives..

A Legacy Unearthed. A Price You’ll Never See Again...

They were never meant to return. Rock Creek Knives, launched in 2008 by Hanwei, were a short-lived but ambitious line of high-performance blades—crafted with proprietary steels, finished with premium materials, and designed to compete with the best Western makers. But when the Hanwei forge was consumed by fire in 2011, the line was quietly retired. The remaining inventory was shipped to Pieces of History, Hanwei’s UK-based sister company, and for over a decade, that’s where they stayed.

Until now.

Earlier this year, Pieces of History closed its doors, and a forgotten shipment of Rock Creek knives made its way back to the U.S. These are not reproductions. They are original, pre-fire production blades, untouched and preserved. And now, in a rare twist of fate, they’re being offered at 40% off MSRP in a final closeout sale.

Why so low? Because this is it. No more will be made. No more will be found. This is the last of Rock Creek—and we’d rather see them in the hands of collectors and craftsmen than gathering dust in a warehouse.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to strike, this is it. Because once they’re gone, Rock Creek will return to legend.

Final Call: Hanwei Closeout Sale – Once They’re Gone, They’re Gone…

The forge is cooling, the crates are nearly empty, and the clock is ticking. This is the final Hanwei closeout, and it’s moving fast.

All month long—and only while supplies last—we are defying the price rise trends by slashing prices on the last remaining Hanwei swords by an extra 10%. These are the final pieces from one of the most respected names in production swordsmithing, and with recent price hikes across the board, you will NEVER see these prices again (and indeed, this may well be the very last change ever to secure some of these classic Hanwei models).

Whether you’re a collector, a martial artist, or just someone who knows a good deal when they see one—this is your moment…

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.

First example of the revitalized Hanwei: The Dragonfly Katana—A Stunning Blade with a Legacy

Turns out we had to edit this post as we had the wrong information – initially we were under the impression that the NEW Dragonfly Katana by Hanwei was the LAST sword that made it out of the old forge in Dailan. But actually, it is the FIRST sword made by the Dragon King Forge under the Hanwei brand name – making this the FIRST sword from the NEW Hanwei Forge rather than the LAST from the old one.. (phew)..

It’s all a bit chaotic due to the trade war and tariff situation when the NEXT sword in the Hanwei Revival collection will actually land and which models they will be (as most shipments of swords have been on hold due to the trade war) but hopefully if all goes to plan, it will be in late May or early June.

In the meantime, take a good look at what to expect with the amazing attention to detail and stunning folded T10 and 1055 carbon steel blade with bo-hi that is the Dragonfly Katana.

Complementing the beautiful blade, the sword features Japanese-imported silk ito, a black iron tsuba with copper inlays, and a Dragonfly-themed fuchigashira that brings an elegant final touch to this exceptional piece and is even available in 3 different blade lengths so you can select the best one that matches your own unique personal preferences.

There aren’t a whole lot of them in stock, so if you like what you see, you had better lock in the current pricing while you can:
