Our friends at CAS Iberia, master distributors for such well known and respected brands such as Paul Chen’s Hanwei Forge, Dragon King, A.P.O.C., Kingston Arms and more – has once again defied the supply chain odds and restocked with many of their most popular items.

So lets do some impromptu ‘unboxing’ to see some of the treasures that have just come back online again, starting with..

Tinker Pearce Longsword

It’s nearly impossible to hold the sub $250 price on this sword, and they are rarely in stock for longer than a week or two after they land, so if you have always missed out on this sword – for a limited time you have a chance to secure one before they sell out again (if you like Longswords, this is one of the very best at a crazy low price).

Hanwei Great Wave Katana

A Hanwei classic and forceful cutter if ever there was one – the iconic Great Wave Katana is one of the best T10 tool steel blades on the market and is an absolute joy to cut with.

And some rare items..!

In addition to the regular and expected restocks, Hanwei also restocked a couple classic and rare items from the series that started the whole ‘Tactical Katana’ craze – the original and the best monotempered Raptor Series blades mounted in high grip, slip-proof Kraton handles in both Katana and Tanto formats!

Lots to choose from, the only caveat – we don’t know when the NEXT restock will be. So if you see something you like, grab it before it is gone..

The first House of Atreides Sword by Missouri based artisan and sword maker, Chris Palmer from Scorpion Swords, proved to be quite a hit. But a lot of customers were also asking for another design based on the ‘training swords’ seen in the 2021 movie, and so Chris got to work recreating it..

As with all his swords, he starts with a precisely cut sword blank made from 1095 carbon steel, into which he drills 6 holes for the handle mounting in preparation.

The basic blank is then shaped and given a rough edge before heat treatment.

The blade is then sharpened and melded with a black linen mircarta handle, pinned and epoxied in place.

The end result of this technique essentially fuses the handle to the blade, with no looseness and no moving parts, making it as strong as humanly possible and essentially makes it a one piece construction.

All in all, it is an extremely tough, extremely durable blade – hand made in the USA and a total bargain at just $249.99.

INTRODUCING: THE DARK KNIGHTS TEMPLAR SWORD

It is one of their most innovative and interesting designs to date – and perhaps one of the toughest arming swords history has ever seen – with their latest sword model, the Dark Knights Templar Sword

Most uniquely, the sandwich tang handle – one of the most durable designs ever invented – is not only a part of the handle but the black linen mircarta forms a short, brass pinned ‘cross guard’ from which the steel, which is all one piece construction, protrudes from within the mircarta wedge producing an attractive two tone effect.

While it may not be the most agile blade, weighing in 3 and 1/2lbs – it’s one piece construction and superior tempering ensures that it is as tough as nails, and considering it is hand made in the USA, is an absolute bargain at $269.99.
