NEW Excalibur Sword from Legacy Arms

You might recall that until a few days ago, Legacy Arms was offering the original Excalibur sword at a crazy sub $300 closeout price, And for those of you who were lucky to snap up the last few models before it was permanently discontinued, you definitely got a massive bargain.

But as the original model fades from view, a new one from the new Legacy Arms comes into play – and boy have they refined it and given it more than a shot or two of Ozempic..!

For the current version weighs a whopping 2lbs 1oz LESS than the original which tipped the scales at 5lbs 3oz while the refined new version has a much slimmer profile with distal taper (6mm at the guard down to 2mm at the tip) and shifts the balance point half an inch even closer to the hilt for truly amazing handling for such a long and powerful blade..

But the improvements don’t end there, overall it is just a much better sword..!

Considering the blade of the new model is just 1.5″ shorter but weighs just 3lbs 2oz is something of a miracle and makes it much more authentic and deadly than ever before.

Check it out in the store for all the juicy details:

New from Scorpion Swords: Sword of Feyd-Rautha from Dune 2

With blade and hilt construction already so close to what Chris Palmer at Scorpion sword does best, it was no surprise that they excelled at making very affordable, fully functional replicas inspired by the first installment of the Dune Franchise on the big screen..

To date, they created two swords from the House Atreides from that first movie – the Atreides Short Sword and the Atreides II – both pictured below respectively.

So it’s a lot of fun to announce that their third sword is one based on one of the Dune Franchises most iconic villains, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen – and will soon have a companion dagger joining it so that fans of Franchise can own their own functional set inspired by the blades from Dune 2:

THE INSPIRATION

So without any further ado, here it is – a fierce replica of Feyd’s right had blade made from expertly tempered 1095 carbon steel with a full tang sandwich hilt for well under $300.

THE REPLICA

With an ergonomic handle more or less fused to the blade using primary and secondary steel pins along with epoxy resin glue, the forward momentum blade is a fitting tribute to the super villain of the story and is a must have piece for fans of the Franchise and good quality, affordable swords in general.

Available for just $254.99 right here at the SBG Sword Store:

Sword of Feyd-Rautha

Stay tuned for more news on the companion dagger in the coming weeks!
