Hanwei Forge Medieval Swords Update

Leave a comment

For fans of fully functional, affordable and ready to ship medieval swords – this is the restock you have been waiting for..

Some of Hanwei’s best designs have just been restocked – including the hard to get Tinker Pearce collaborations such as the Sharp Longsword and Sharp Bastard Sword (less than 5 of each available) and the classic and affordable (starting at $199.99) beater swords from the classic medieval series.

Many of these swords have not been available for over 6 months, and stocks are sorely limited. So definitely get in while you can.

Hanwei Tinker Longsword – in Stock, But not for long..

It is simply too popular for its own good.

I am talking of course about the Hanwei/Tinker Longsword – so popular that it is almost ALWAYS out of stock, and when it does come into stock, they go so fast that it makes your head spin..

But the good news is, we have secured 10pcs of the sharpened version of this wildly popular sword. Though naturally, how long they remain in stock is unknown.

So if you have been checking every site you know looking for one, well – right now we have 10. So get them while you can.. (the last time we had any in stock was February, so if you miss this chance, well – it might be a long wait).

Forge Direct Chinese – Sale Over and Product Line Mothballed

Just a quick update – the forge direct Mega-Sale just finished a few minutes ago and as explained previously, is now archived and unavailable to order until further notice.

Our Master Smith has received quite a nice boost of orders to keep him busy when he gets back to work at the end of the month, and all the people who took advantage of the 25% discount special offer should be receiving their swords sometime in mid December.

For the time being, we have moved the entire selection to the ARCHIVES – but just in case this line never comes back, here is selection of the most popular designs from the sale..

I really do hope that this will not be the end of the Forge Direct Chinese Sword Project – these really are stunningly beautiful swords literally dripping with 2500 years of history and it would be such a shame to see it all come to an end.

Hopefully our modest contribution of orders from the sale will help keep the forge going long enough to see another few rounds, but only time will tell..

Here’s hoping that we will see them all again soon.

Blade Culture International Shipment Finally Landed!

It has been many, many months in the making. Ever since my trip to Pangasinan, the Philippines back in March this year, I have been anticipating this shipment – four of the swords that impressed me most from my visit, now available for the first time and beyond my wildest expectations..

Here is a pic I took of 3 of the 4 swords during my visit to the Forge:

And here is a pic taken just yesterday of the swords ready to ship in all their glory..

As you can see, stock is quite limited as BCI is not a factory churning out hundreds of swords a month, but rather a bit of a ’boutique’ sword forge that specializes in truly hand forged blades that are in a league of their own.

So without any further ado, here are the 4 new swords in all their glory – in stock and ready to ship.

Highly recommended, get in on these while you can as they take so long to make that it will be at LEAST another 5-9 months before they are available again ANYWHERE (we are the only authorized re-seller for these swords, you simply cannot pick them up anywhere else)..

As promised earlier, here are the two new cool Scorpion Sword designs by Chris Palmer!

The first is the new ‘Sword of Hakai’ and is a beast of a thing, designed to be extremely versatile and destructive (Hakai is Japanese for Destruction) and is definitely a must have for any zombie survivalists tool box..

The second is a revamped version of the Khopesh Sword of the Pharoah – and I must say, being quite a fan of this ancient sword design, cannot tear my eyes away from it..

So if you are a fan of tough, practical and almost indestructible swords that are hand crafted in the USA – and under $300, well, you need to take a close look at these babies, that is for sure.

Here’s a video by Jason Woodard from Last Month Testing out the limits of another Scorpion Swords Design to give you an idea of just how strong and durable these swords really are..
