Just a super quick post here – we have a couple of S&D swords with minor issues for one of the most popular sword models in the Forge Direct Chinese selection – the Red Ebony Jian..

Red Ebony Jian

One of the swords has a light surface patina developing on a small patch of the blade – otherwise is in as new and unused condition and could fairly easily be polished out if you know what you are doing (click the images to enlarge)

And the other one has a hairline split in the saya caused by exposure to humidity and a small area that is slightly scuffed as pictured below.

Both swords have become casualties of the warmer weather it would seem – but our bad luck is your chance to save a small fortune (plus no waiting time!)..

Price on the first sword with the minor Patina/pitted area is down from $879.99 to just $559.99 (with free shipping) – saving of three hundred and twenty bucks for a few black spots..

And the one with the split scabbard and tiny scuffed area – $499.99 – a saving of $380..

In all honesty, the issues should only really take $50 to $100 off the value, but Forge Direct is no ordinary sword line – and so they are being sacrificed and will be sold on a first come first served basis.

This one took a bit of wrangling – but oh so worth the extra effort..

For this month we can offer history buffs and WWII enthusiasts the opportunity to own a fully functional replica Gunto Japanese Officers Sword no matter what your budget or your tastes..

The first sword is a new product by Ryujin Swords – a T10 tool steel solid bodied blade mounted in basic Gunto style fittings of a type 98 sword produced from 1938 until the end of the war.

A steal at just $199.99

Priced to sell at just $199.99 and includes a free display box and budget cleaning kit, only 9pcs are available – and they are sure to sell out fast..

The second sword is one we released last month but, despite many people expressing interest, no-one actually took advantage of the special introductory price offer..

Down from $1000 to just $699

However this time around, after extensive negotiations with the Master Smith, he has agreed to make it available one last time with a whopping 30% discount.. But the caveat is, after the 21st of July it will be discontinued and removed from sale..!

So no matter what your budget or the level of sword that you like to collect, if you like top value for money WWII replica swords, one of these deals is for you. But both, one way or another, are ending VERY soon…

A couple of new hot specials to start July off with – and as the weather heats up, so do the deals..

The first one is a Crecy price on the Kingston Arms Crecy Sword – a stunning Hollow Ground blade with peened pommel and leather bound, wood core scabbard.

Crecy War Sword – Sharp by Kingston Arms

Not only is it historically plausible, but this powerful cut and thrust sword is extremely well made and a totally Crecy deal at$100 off our everyday, already heavily discounted prices (the exact same sword is for sale here at $439 from the manufacturers website).

And lovers of Katana have not been forgotten, with below wholesale pricing on the beautiful War Horse Katana by Dragon King.

Last time we offered this sword at $274.99 it proved extremely popular – here is what one reviewer said:

For the current sale price ($274.99 in Dec 2017) this thing is a steal. Gorgeous fittings — better than average for the on-sale price point — and a sharp, differentially hardened, tool steel blade. Five stars on sale; maybe four stars if you pay full price.

It has been 6 months since it was last sold at this price, and who knows when – if ever – it may be offered at this price again. So if you missed out last time, don’t miss out this time – only until the end of July and while stocks last.

There are few sword makers as well respected these days as the Legendary Angus Trim. His swords are highly sought after on the secondary sword market and increasingly rare.

So when lovers of medieval swords get a chance to grab a genuine Atrim, hand made by Gus in the USA, it is very much a case of first in first served..

Well, this is one such opportunity.

Presenting, a limited edition release of Gus’s take on the Oakeshott Type XVIa – configured as a true bastard sword that can be wielded easily in one hand, but truly comes alive when the second hand is brought into play,.

Priced to sell at $1200 with FREE SHIPPING only a handful have been made, and once they are sold out, well – who knows when they will be coming back..

Whether you are a Dad yourself, or want to give him something special – we have you covered with two timely hot specials just added to the SBG Sword Store.

The first is for the outdoors-man who has it all – the Survival Kukri by Paul Chen and Hanwei.

Made from expertly tempered, ultra durable 5160 spring steel, it takes the ancient Nepalese Kukri and hurtles it into the 21st century with injection molded ABS grip and hard wearing, peened and welded tang to extract the absolute maximum level of durability and multi-layer design sheathe, with an ABS insert and sturdy nylon shell. Multiple attachment points and carry positions are possible.

And the best part, the price – normally $250 but until the end of the month it is available at below wholesale pricing of just $137.49.

The next sword is, however, a limited edition Ryujin Custom Katana with a stunning redwood style mother of pearl inlaid saya that costs over $100 for the sheathe alone..

But until the end of the month and while stocks last you can pick it up for the exact same price as the standard saya Ryujin Custom Katana – and it even comes with premium quality, tsunami themed brass fittings on your choice of matching black or red ito and bamboo themed or classic Musashi style tsuba.

Amazing value and as you can see from the pics below, the whole design looks much more expensive than it actually is because – well, because it is a closeout deal on this premium quality saya.
