There has been little fan fare or build up – indeed, it would probably be fair to say that there has been something of a shroud of mystery about exactly when the next batch of the custom katana would be available to order.. (after all, the last official date provided was August last year!)..

But theres been good reason for it – because in the background we have been tinkering away to delivery what we think now is the PERFECT system – and we can now offer you the option to purchase the custom katana at ANY time, all year round!

Thats right – no more mad panic.

No need to rush your purchase, and no way to ever miss out again!

Sounds too good to be true? Well, it certainly has us excited – now people can budget and save sensibly for their design, knowing they can order anytime and behind the scenes your order will become part of a sophisticated Just in time delivery and production system we have developed with the Black Dragon forge over the years – and now set it all up so that we can provide a slow and steady supply of customized Japanese style blades when YOU want them, not when a frantic window of opportunity opens and closes within a few weeks…

So relax – no rush. You can order again – anytime, and over the next few weeks will be will doing a few cosmetic upgrades to the images, etc – but otherwise, the custom Katana 3.0 is not only back, its here to stay…!

A pretty exciting announcement, but no hyperbole necessary – its a quiet launch because we prefer you take your time thinking about your design than rush it. It really is a lot of fun..

Ok, it’s official – batch 22 is closed and over the next few days my assistant and I will be going over all the orders to make sure everything has been formatted correctly for the forge and double check to make sure there are no data entry errors before sending the final instructions to the forge along with their payment so that they can commence work.

This may take up to a week to process everything, and once we have submitted the designs and the payment to the forge we will send out an email to everyone who is part of this batch (update 1). In the meantime, if you have any last minute tweaks or changes you wish to make, NOW is definitely the time as once we have submitted the instructions to the forge no changes are possible – it will be 100% locked in.

I look forward to bringing these designs to life, there are some really great designs that have been submitted with NO repeats – each design has been unique and I am confident that this will be the very best custom katana batch yet!

I’ll update the blog every now and again with pics or information on the forge, but for the most part updates will be made via email to batch 22 customers directly. However if at any stage you have any questions just shoot me an email and I’ll get back to you as quickly as possible.

Hey Everyone,

Nearly last order time – batch 22 will be officially closing on accepting new orders on the 10th of May. Late orders will not have much time to make any adjustments to the order, so please if you aren’t sure about your design, best to wait for batch 23 in 3-5 months time.

For customers who already have an order in with batch 22, now is the time to make any last minute adjustments, as once we send the order details to the forge that’s it – no further changes are possible as doing so could mess up everyone’s orders – so once we lock it, it’s locked for the duration.

Looking forward to bringing these great designs to life!

The title says it all.

Batch 22 is open and the Custom Katana 3.0 is officially taking new commissions for the next 2 weeks. I’ll be keeping you all updated if we reach the forges maximum capacity early, but at this stage we should be closing off on the 6th of May.

Already the orders are coming in and I am seeing some very cool designs – seems to be a fairly even split between the iron and the work hardened copper sets and I’m seeing some really cool combinations so far, great to see that despite the streamlining it’s still possible to come up with something very uniquely, well, you.

Have fun folks!
