We are proud to release a bit of a ‘surprise’ item for fans of Project X Chinese – the limited edition Wind Steel Jian, a stunning 1095 carbon steel with a rare and very hard to reproduce ‘Wind Steel/Feather Steel’ shuangxue (hamon)..

Close up of the Wind Steel pattern, made by a special differential hardening technique. Click on the pic to enlarge.

This sword has been produced in conjunction with Ronin Katana and, apart from this blades amazing cutting power, durability and stunning blade and fittings – is not a pre-order item, it is available for immediate delivery, and there are only 4 pieces available – making it a true limited edition release for Chinese sword enthusiasts..

While the name ‘feather steel’ may make it seem like a lightweight, nothing could be further from the truth..

Like I said, only 4 are available and it is a limited edition, one off piece – so don’t miss out!

Around 24 hours previously, we emailed everyone who had been waiting for a chance to get their hands on a Project X Katana and – as expected – 24 hours later we are almost completely sold out again..

The Gunto is already out of stock, and at the time of this post there is only 1 Model # 006 Dragon Katana left..

The only sword we currently have a few of is the O-Katana, but only because we ordered quite a few.. But they too are moving fast.

As all of the Project X swords seen to date are completed for 2016, time is definitely running out if you want to secure one for yourself.

Just a quick post, as the Dragon Dao is a very high end, rather specialized sword – but if it is calling to you, you don’t need me to say much more than two Dragon Dao are now in stock in Texas and ready to ship out.

Once they are sold, that is it for 2016 – so if one has your name on it, don’t miss out..

Project X Japanese swords will be available in a couple of weeks – currently we are concentrating on shipping out the pre-orders and once they are all shipped, will offer the remaining stocked swords for sale accordingly.

We will update you all again soon.

Yes, models 4-6 of Project X Japanese (Gunto, O-Katana and Dragon Katana respectively) and the Dragon Dao have landed, cleared customs and are being inspected in preparation to ship out to customers who per-ordered over the following week.

It will still be at least a couple of weeks before we will open up on taking new orders for the limited landed stock we have available – our priority is to fulfill pre-orders first, but once they are all accounted for there will be a very limited opportunity to secure one of these heirloom quality swords for yourself.

With customs fees and airfreight costs being so high (shipping alone on these swords is $150-200 plus due to the massive wooden display box they come shipped in) these swords are almost being sold at the wholesale cost price, so represent a truly amazing bargain and opportunity. Once the pr-orders are fulfilled, the swords we have in stock will be sold off on a first come, first served basis – so if you have not already signed up to the special Project X Mailing List on Our Project X Page to be notified when they become available, you will almost certainly miss out on this rare opportunity..

I will update you all again soon!

The most recent swords from Project X have all been completed and are currently being carefully packed and prepared for an airfreight shipment from the forge. It should be another couple of weeks before they arrive, clear customs and are inspected and shipped out to customers who were lucky enough to secure a pre-order, then once everyone is happy we will list each of these stunning swords for sale direct from stock – though as the amount of swords we have is extremely limited, you had best sign up to the Project X newsletter to be notified if you have not pre-ordered and want to secure one for yourself.

In the meantime, here are some pics of the completed Katana (click the thumbnails for hi resolution pics)

Model 004 – the Shin Gunto

Model 005 – the O-Katana

Model 006 – the Dragon

Note – Project X Chinese, the Dragon Dao is being shipped directly from Master Smith Micheal Jie, tracking numbers should be supplied to everyone who pre-ordered VERY soon.
