Forge Direct and Project X Chinese Final Closeout MegaSale!

It’s no secret that this year has been a very hard one for the sword industry. But behind the scenes in Longquan, China – many of the forges are having an especially hard time. So much so that the very industry that they were famous for for over 2600 years, specifically traditional Chinese sword production, is under threat…

Many of the smiths are seeing such a dramatic decrease in sales and re-orders that they are considering moving exclusively into generic Katana designs (or worse, preparing to exit the industry entirely).

However, we have a solution for you. Before these swords become scarce and difficult to source, we are offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase premium swords at closeout prices. This is your last chance to add high-quality swords to your collection, so don’t miss out on this amazing offer. Our swords are crafted by master artisans and are guaranteed to impress. Take advantage of this limited-time sale and add some of the finest swords to your collection.

First up, from the archives – we are re-releasing 10pcs each of two classic Project X designs on the 10th year anniversary of their first release. The stunning Jian of Marquis Yi and the Dragon Dao:

The Jian of Marquis Yi

The original classic design that kicked off Project X Chinese comes back one last time.. Truly amazing quality, normal price on this sword is over $2600 but is available for just $1599.99

The Dragon Dao

One of the most fierce one handed cutting swords ever made, the stunning Dragon Dao is valued at $3,400 but is available for just $1,799.99 one last time..

As noted, only 10pcs of each model will be sold, after which time these designs will go back to the archives, almost certainly never to be seen again..

But while this is quite dramatic, what follows next takes the sale to a whole new level..

Forge Direct – Final Closeout Sale

As we mentioned at the outset, many of the master smiths and large forges that specialized in high end traditional Chinese swords are preparing to wind up their production of high end, fully functional replicas.

But before they disappear from the store, from now until the 17th of July, the following selection of Forge Direct Chinese swords have been marked down from 30% to 40% – the highest level of discounts ever seen!

Even after all the models above go left of center stage on the 17th and are discontinued, two new swords have just been added to the line up. Two sword types that have taken a lot of behind the scenes work to have made because WE wanted them for ourselves..

First up, a fully functional Master Smith forged version of Shuangjian – in other words a Twin Jian set!

And the second sword, the ULTIMATE Taichi sword – both in terms of quality and price.

New Hot Specials for June

As the sword industry slows down, the hot offers speed up – and we start off the month with not one but FOUR popular and high quality swords marked down until the end of the month. Starting with:

Dragon King Tatsumaki Katana

The pinnacle of a high quality T10 tool steel Katana with ALL the bells and whistles, the Tatsumaki Katana by Dragon King truly is a stunning piece of craftsmanship. Beautiful to display as a piece of high quality sword art, it is equally at home at the dojo or even the back yard (it is 100% functional, but such a beautiful piece that most collectors who own one tend to baby it a little and keep it as a central showpiece).

Normal retail price on this piece is $1,385.00 and a bargain at our everyday discounted price of just $927.95. But until the end of the month and while stocks last you can pick it up for below cost and wholesale pricing at just $749.99!

Dragon King Miao Dao

Like your swords BIG but not heavy? Then the Dragon King Miao Dao is for you!

Standing 4’9″ with a point of balance just 3″ from the guard and weighing only a little more than a Katana, it has amazing reach, speed and agility, and once you handle it in person we guarantee it will completely blow you away. Normally a quite reasonable $709.00, we are marking it down from our discounted price of $449.99 to just $379.99 – so if you like it and it speaks to you, get in quick as the restock on this model is quite uncertain as the sword market contracts and reverts to more familiar and less exotic sword types.

Kingston Arms Cutlass

Designed by Angus Trim and made from monotempered 9260 spring steel, this sword is amazing fun in the backyard. Tough and agile and beautifully made and designed, it is once again on sale down from the usual retail price of $525 and our everyday low price of $349.99 to be sub $300 bargain at $299.99. Once again, we are not sure of when it will be restocked, so if you missed it last time it was on deep discount, you will not want to pass this offer up this time around, that is for sure..

APOC Survival Broadsword

Last but definitely not least, the no-nonsense, NO bells and whistles Survival Broadsword takes the medieval knights trusty sidearm and tweaks it for the 21st century. Made from monotempered 9260 Spring Steel it is tough, fast, deadly and highly intimidating – and ready for anything, regardless of what good or ill the future may bring. And at our special pricing all June for just $144.99, is a bargain if ever there was one.

$20 off the Tactical sword range from Scorpion Swords all month

While production costs have gone up, sales are way to sluggish this month to be sustainable. So while it’s difficult to do, we are offering a $20 discount on the 4 exclusive Tactical swords hand made by our friend Chris Palmer in Missouri, USA.

Here are the 4 SBG exclusive swords currently available with the $20 discount:

Tactical Ko Katana

Normally $284.99, now $264.99 until the end of May.

Tactical Wakizashi

Make your own Tactical Daisho by combining it with the Tactical Ko Katana. Normally $249.99, now $229.99 all month.

Tactical Leaf Blade

Leaf blade ‘Smatchet’ variant normally $269.99, now on special all month for $249.99

Tactical Gladius

Eminently practical, the close in fighting master blade that is the Tactical Gladius is normally $274.99 but now just $254.99 until the end of the month.

Great deals no matter which way you look at them and the first time these swords have EVER been discounted. So grab a bargain and support a great US blade maker at the same time.

Warfire Katana On Special All May

While it is eerily quiet for the sword industry in May – there is at least a little activity here and there. Such as the current special on the Dragon King WarFire Katana..

Elegant in its simplicity and ticking every check box for a quality entry level sword, the Warfire has an attractive and practical 65MN Spring Steel blade, differentially hardened with an edge HRC of 60 and spine of 40 and is decked out with attractive and sturdy iron fittings depicting Kumamoto castle in flames on one side of the tsuba and a proud mounted Samurai on the other.

With extra bonuses rarely seen on swords at this price point, such as the buffalo horn at the Koiguchi, Kurikata and Kojiri of the textured ishime saya, it’s a bargain at our usual price of $359.98. But from today you can grab it for just $299.99 – but only until the end of the month and while stocks last..
