Cutting Stands and Targets!

With the heat starting to turn up in the Northern Hemisphere – many sword enthusiasts are spending even more time outdoors, so the timing of this restock of the popular sword cutting stand is pretty much ideal..

This versatile stand is designed for tatami and goza rolls but the mounting peg can also accommodate the hole of a pool noodle or be removed and the flat surface of the stand used to place water filled bottles, making it the perfect stand for the modern cutter.

Naturally, we also offer Goza mats – stiffer and more challenging targets than standard tatami:

A box of 20 full mats runs at $179.99 plus $15 shipping in North America – but if you use thinner half mats (which almost have the same density as a standard tatami full mat) and get 3 cuts per target (you can do more if you are accurate) that is 120 cuts per box at $1.62 per cut – which if you have ever cut real mats before – you will know is worth every penny and then some (and if you HAVEN’T cut mats before – what are you waiting for).

Happy and safe cutting all..

Ronin Katana Warehouse closed for two weeks

Just a quick update – the Ronin Katana warehouse, which ships our range of Ronin Katana swords and products, will be closed from the 2nd of June to the 15th of June for an annual trip to the forge.

As such, orders can still be placed during this period but will not be processed or shipped until after they get back on the 15th. We thank you for your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

3 New Scorpion Swords!

Just a quick note that we have added an additional 3 models to our selection of blades by Chris Palmer from Scorpion Swords LLC..

The first of the three is an awesome fully functional sword based on the Achilles Sword seen in the movie Troy.

The second is a zombie killer approved Tactical Machete blade based on a design used by the British Special Forces, but brought screaming into the 21st century with a mean looking blued finish..

Finally, one of my favorites is the toughest replica of a Khopesh ever made – the Scorpion Swords Khopesh Sword of the Nile..

This one is a bit hard to make, so if we get too many orders we may need to stop taking new ones to ensure we don’t fall behind the schedule we aim for..

Hope you find something of interest!

Scorpion Swords Pre-Orders Paused

Just a quick update to let you all know that we just reached the quota of pre-orders that Chris can comfortably fulfil on the Scorpion Swords Tactical Ko Katana.

As such, no more pre-orders can be placed until existing orders have been fulfilled over the coming 5-7 weeks or so.

So in the meantime, the sword has been moved to the sword archive here and we will be letting everyone know via the store newsletter and here on the blog when they are available to order again.

Looking forward to getting them out to you all!
