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..

A couple of new hot specials in time for Fathers Day..

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.

All this and more available in the HOT SPECIALS section of our store..

Some more pics of that $199.99 Yong Lo Sword..

I have lost count of the number of emails from people who have requested some additional pics of the $199 Yong Lo Sword we are currently offering in the hot specials section of our store..

Quite a few have wondered if, considering the level of detail in the brass fittings of the hilt and scabbard and the extremely low price, that it is going to a bit ugly or something has to be wrong..

But I will let the pictures do the talking..

All this,with a fully functional sharpened 1060 carbon steel blade for $199.99 it is no wonder some people are skeptical..

But as you can see, this is the real deal, and stock is limited – so get in on this deal while you can..

1060 Carbon Steel Yong Lo Sword with Brass Fittings

Ryujin Restock, New Swords and More

Recently I met up with my personal friend and business associate, Sam Sung, one of the founders of Musashi Swords,Ryujin Swords and many other well known sword and knife brands..

Quite a few of the project ideas we discussed are a bit far down the line, but there were a couple of new products that came out of the discussion that we are able to offer you right now..

The first is a general restock of our Ryujin custom swords and return of the 33″ custom O-katana – and return of the special introductory pricing of just $229.99 – the same price as the regular sized blades!

But during our discussions I also found out about two other swords that Sam has managed to source, and after some negotiation, have added the minimum markup and am offering them to you guys at pretty amazing prices..

The first of the two new swords is a basic entry level 1045 carbon steel blade in Shirasaya.

As you can see, it is a bare blade in glossy lacquered natural wood fittings – for just $74.99 PLUS you also get your choice of a free budget cleaning kit or sword stand..

And then there is one that literally blew me away, a fully functional 1060 carbon steel version of the iconic Ming Dynasty sword, the Yong Lo Sword – for just (wait for it)…

$199.99!!

No doubt other less scrupulous sellers would be happy to offer this sword to you for $400 to $600, simply because it looks like it should sell for that much.. But that’s not the SBG way..

More products and projects are coming down the line from this auspicious meeting (indeed, it was our first meeting several years ago that led to the Ryujin Custom Katana line in the first place) so stay tuned.

But in the meantime, check out these deals and more in the Hot Specials Section..

For Quick Sale: Forge Direct Scratch and Dent King of Chu Sword

This one is priced for quick sale..

For the first time there was a mix up with one of our Forge Direct Chinese Sword orders – instead of the King of Qin Sword, our good customer was sent a King of Chu Sword – and to make matters worse, there was a discrepancy with how the hilt was finished.

Instead of this:

The hilt ended up looking like this:

Otherwise though, it is a great example of a Forge Direct 1095 carbon steel folded blade – and priced to sell as the normal price on this sword is $749.99 but this one, which is available for immediate shipping, is on offer for less than half price at just $299.99 with FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING.

A crazy deal for someone who is fast – if it is still available you will find it at the top of the HOT SPECIALS page.
