While the deals may seem too good to be true, this is NOT an April Fools prank..

All this month and while stocks last, we have obtained discounted pricing on four of our already best value for money medieval sword replicas from Kingston Arms and the Tinker line by Hanwei.

ONE HANDED ARMING SWORDS

In the late Dark ages and early to middle medieval period, sword and shield were the defining weapons of the battlefield – and Kingston Arms does not disappoint with two Angus Trim designed monotempered 9260 spring steel blades that an early medieval Knight would have given his left arm to own – fully leveraging the strength and quality of modern spring steels in a way that would have seemed quite magical.

Type XIV Arming Sword

Based on an early 13th century design, the Oakeshott Type XIV Arming sword is a classic Kingston Arms blade optimized for the cut, the MSRP on this beauty is $500, but you can pick it up at the current sale price of just $299.99.

Type XVIII Arming Sword

With armor piercing capabilities, this later period medieval blade in the Oakeshott Type XVIII typology was and remains a very versatile and fast single handed blade that was no slouch in the cutting department either. Also on sale for just $299.99.

HAND AND A HALF AND TWO HANDED SWORDS

As armor improved, new sword types and fighting styles evolved in an ongoing arms race – doing away with the shield and gripping the handle with two hands for extra control, speed and power. Here are two of the best around, discounted as low as they can possibly go!

Type XIIIa War Sword

If you are looking for a true bargain, this powerful workhorse of a war sword is also on sale for just $299.99! 9260 Spring Steel blade, Angus Trim design and Kingston Arms quality – you can’t go wrong with this beautiful fully functional replica.

Tinker Bastard Sword

And if you prefer something more elegant and precise, the hand and a half ‘Bastard’ sword designed by world renowned artisan Michael ‘Tinker’ Pearce and brought to life by the good people at the Hanwei Forge is an absolute MUST HAVE at the current sale price of just $213.92!!!

So grab one of these HOT SPECIALS while you can, because at these prices the best ones will sell out fast..

Last year it would seem that every few months we offered a special discount on the ‘no bells and whistles, Apocalypse ready’ monotempered 9260 spring steel blades in the Angus Trim designed APOC series. As a result many a prepper, survivalist, outdoors-man, sword collector and blade enthusiast added at least one model to their potential bug out bag..

With 2024 already shaping up to be ‘more of the same’ with Flashpoints across the world in Palestine, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, China, Taiwan, North and South Korea, US versus itself, Environmental degradation, Rouge AI and the ever present threat of an unexpected ‘Black Swan event’ – being prepared for the worst yet hoping for the best is more sensible now than it has ever been..

TIME MAGAZINE: Top 10 Global Risks for 2024

If you missed out, or just want to add another design to your tactical toolbox (after all, APOC make modern versions of many historical types of swords and blades from so many different eras and cultures, there is always another model of interest) NOW is the time to grab it at the very best price possible!

Maybe if you purchased the discounted Survival Katana last time, this time you will want to round it out with a matching Wakizashi for a Neo-Miyamoto Musashi two sword fighting style or a back up Tanto tucked away in your boot or your belt (or two bladed fighting style with Wakizashi and Tanto for in your face, up close and personal defense).

Or if you bought the Longsword last time, maybe you want to add a Broadsword – or even a Chinese Kung fu Jian and pair of Wing Chun style Butterfly swords, mixing and matching as your personal preferences dictate..

With the current special pricing of 15% off are ALREADY discounted prices, you are guaranteed to get more value than what you pay for. So grab a bargain while the sale is on and while stocks last.

You just never know when that ‘last chance’ will really be – and as the old saying goes “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” (or 2lbs 6 oz or so depending on the model!).

The third and final Flash sale for February sees bargain pricing hit the matching Katana and Wakizashi blades of Frenchie Jin’s nicest Daisho sets.

The Forge Direct 9 Dragons Jian is made by rank 1 master smiths at the esteemed Baojian forge, but even Baojian has its off days..

Made in November last year, one of these swords arrived in less than perfect condition, with a few cosmetic marks on the folded and differetially hardened blade near the hilt..

And there is also a cosmetic gap in the hilt fittings that should have been finished better..

Normally a pristine new version of this sword would set you back $1,300 and you can order a new one for $975 at the SBG Store here – but otherwise, for these two issues one lucky and quick person can get these Dragon themed blade at the marked down price of just $390
