Even MORE Hot Specials from Dragon King and Kingston Arms

In addition to the extended special offer on the solid entry level Dragon King Hana Katana and the Kingston Arms Type XIV Arming Sword, a second related sword from each of these highly respected brands has just entered the HOT SPECIALS section of the SBG Sword Store.

It has taken the master distributor of both of these brands (Cas Iberia) a better part of 2 years to reach the point where they finally enough stock available that they could offer us a discount as they always used to do. So naturally as we always used to do, we are passing those savings on to you!

Dragon King Special #2

A big step up from the entry level Hana Katana on extended sale, the Dragon King Kohaku Katana is a solid mid range and quite elegant cutting sword.

The silver habaki and menuki fittings, steel tsuba, fuchigashira tight ito wrap and buffolo horn saya tick every box when it comes to buying a decent quality tameshigiri ready Katana.

But the blade is what takes it to another level – beatifully tempered T10 tool steel, polished until the natural hamon really POPS.

Just look at that kissaki with geometric yokote..

The MSRP on this beauty is nearly $1000 ($949) – and we usually sell it for the lowest price we can muster for what we think is a very reaonable $629.99.

But with this special, while stocks last, you can grab it (not by the blade obviously – pardon my pun) for just…

..wait for it..

$499.99!!

Not a misprint, and this means they will probably sell out very fast – so get in on this while you can.

Dragon King Kohaku $499.99

Now, for lovers of medieval swords:

Kingston Arms Special #2

Designed by Angus Trim and produced in the Dailan forge of Sword Artisan Frenchie Jin, the Type XVIII it is an attractive, fully functional and cutting performance optimized replica of a 15th century Knightly sword. Weighing in at 2lbs 2oz, it is very fast, accurate and agile.

Complimented with a solid, but basic scabbard and attractive fittings including a steel ‘S’ guard and wood core, textured leather grip – it is a pleasure to wield, ergonomic and comfortable in the hand.

With a recommended retail price of $499 it is a solid mid range blade. But with this special, we slash our usual everyday low price of $349.99 down to just $279.99 making it an absolute steal..!

XVIII Arming Sword $279.99

A quick note

While specials like these are awesome value for everyone who doesn’t have one of these swords, unfortunately it’s not really possible to do any partial refunds if you recently purchased one of these particular models at the full price.. However, if you did buy one recently (within the last few weeks or so to be fair) and want to get a SECOND one, please contact us for an additional discount!

For everyone else, enjoy – more news and a few additional specials coming in another post soon!

There has been so much going on behind the scenes that I have not been able to update the blog as much as is needed right now, and many more posts to be made over the coming week or so to get completely caught up again, but in the meantime a very succinct post:

The current hot special on the Dragon King Hana Katana, Kingston Arms XIV Arming Sword, and the A.P.O.C. Wasteland Gladius has been extended by popular request until the end of SEPTEMBER 2022..!

Of course, these at wholesale pricing deals will only be available while stocks last, so if you are in the market for any of these sword types, don’t miss out on this..!

More updates, news and specials coming soon..

3 New Hot Specials: Something for Everyone..

UPDATE: Offer Extended Until End of September 2022!

In these very hard and uncertain economic times, we all welcome a bargain and a discount when we can find it. And while they are few and far between these days (as on the whole, prices are all going north and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future) here’s three new hot specials that cover the majority of sword buyers with something almost any collector will like..

The first is, predictably, a Katana. But not any old Katana, this is a special price on the Hana Katana by Dragon King:

This is a sword that ticks all the boxes – a differentially hardened T10 tool steel blade with natural hamon, black cotton ito over real rayskin, silver colored habaki, seppa and menuki – in short “The Hana Katana is a sword for the humble warrior who needs only to let the blade do the talking.”

The normal retail price on these is $521.59 – but they are available while stocks last until the 31st of August for just $299.95!

Dragon King Hana Katana

Also discounted down to $299.95 until the end of the month, we also wind back the clock and the price on the amazingly durable 9260 Spring Steel Type XIV Arming Sword by Kingston Arms!

STATS

Overall: 34 1/4″ Blade Length: 28″ Weight: 2lb 2oz Point of Balance: 4 1/2″ Point of Harmonics (CoP/Sweet spot): 18″

Truly amazing value for a Gus Trim designed, high performance, maximum durability medieval sword.

Type XIV Arming Sword

And last but not least, the deceptively elegant lines of another 9260 Spring Steel blade – this one the Wasteland Gladius, a total bargain at the unprecedented low price of just $139.95..

Truly quite iconic (indeed, it is the sword featured most prominently in the A.P.O.C. product line store header):

Metal skull and tinned survival foods not included..

A.P.O.C. Wasteland Gladius

Awesome deals abound, but only until the end of the month and WHILE STOCKS LAST..

Legendary Swords Final Closeout Sale

By | | ,
Leave a comment

They arrived at perhaps the worst time possible (boxing day 2021) and have been listed during one of the most difficult times in recent sword history. But after 6 months of holding them in stock the time has come to liquidate this project of ours once and for all..

Our misfortune is Your Opportunity!

While it is bad news for us, and the final death knell for the Legendary Swords Project (so much so that we have actually removed all reference to the original backstories for these swords) it is great news for fans of original, premium quality hand made bespoke fantasy swords..

Normally Fantasy swords are either stainless steel decorative things or $3000-$8000 one of a kind artworks – and the Legendary Swords Project was our (failed) attempt to bridge the middle ground, so the chances of seeing swords like these at anything similar to the current closeout prices is practically non-existent.

All the swords below are 100% fully functional, made from 5160 spring steel and with premium custom made original fittings and each one is based on a real world sword of some kind or another. So without any further ado, let’s take a look at the last three swords from this series for the very last time:

THE CASTIR

A ‘Fantasy Katanaesque design’ the 2.54lb Castir is lighting fast and was described by Martial Artist Joko Setiawan, who after using it “like a Katana, a Machete, and an oversized Cavalry Sabre, transitioning between forms, stances and using both edges in mock attacks without skipping a beat, had this to say:

“If I’m in a battlefield, I want this thing on my side. This is better than a Katana.”

Previous Price: $799.99

FINAL CLOSEOUT SPECIAL PRICE: $599.99

The Castir

THE AELUTIAN GLADIUS

With it’s distinctive spear/arrow like head, this wide bladed Fantasy Gladius is the only sword I know of that is capable of bisceting a water filled bottle with a thrust! Great fun, and visually striking with its matching custom hand made scabbard.

Previous Price: $629.99

FINAL CLOSEOUT SPECIAL PRICE: $499.99

The Aelutian Gladius

THE BRAND OF THE FALLEN

If you like your swords big, bad and slightly terrifying – the Brand of the Fallen is for YOU! Based on a hybrid design between a German Zweihänder and Flamberge (flame bladed sword), the blade terminates with a deadly undulating, serpentine Kris blade design that causes unpleasant vibrations to an opponents weapon when it makes contact and delivers distinctive tearing, shearing cuts when it makes contact with the target. Truly intimidating on every level and an absolute bargain at the final closeout price.

Previous Price: $899.99

FINAL CLOSEOUT SPECIAL PRICE: $549.99

Brand of the Fallen

As all swords are being sold BELOW COST this is most definitely the last time you will see these designs on the market. So grab yourself a piece of SBG history before these swords are gone forever..

Sengetsu Katana Special Offer

Leave a comment

One of the latest additions to our line up of entry level Katana from Ryujin Swords has just become one of the best deals of 2022 – the Sengetsu Katana series.

Ticking every box in a very old school way – the fullered (bo-hi) blades are made from differentially hardened 1095 carbon steel blades, a modern steel that comes very close to the same carbon content as traditional Japanese Nihonto. The fittings are solid brass with tightly wrapped black cotton ito over genuine rayskin – but the best part, the price: now just $199.99!

With prices going up across the board it is rare that we are able to secure a LOWER price – so if you are in the market for a solid entry level cutting Katana, this deal should be at the top of your wishlist..!

ONE STYLE – THREE COLOR CHOICES

Red Ito Sengetsu Katana $199.99

Blue Ito Sengetsu – $199.99

Black Ito Sengetsu – $199.99
