Hot Specials from Hanwei for August

By | | ,
Leave a comment

Ever since the disastrous fire well over a decade ago, the Hanwei Forge has always struggled to keep up with demand for their high quality, professionally made swords and other functional historical replica weaponry.

Recently, we have been pleased to see them restocking many of the once ‘lost’ Renaissance sword designs from the fire, and in 2024 we are going to be seeing even MORE classic reworked models from this era hitting the shelves and the newly rebuild forge, which is now going at full steam ahead, is a very modern, very serious business that is dedicated to supplying sword fans what they love at the best prices and the best quaity for years to come.

INTERLUDE: THE CURRENT FACTORY

  1. Administration Offices, Design & Development
  2. Polishing, Hand Fitting, Molding & Final Assembly
  3. Forging & Blade Grinding, Casting

After the fire of March 2011, the Hanwei factory was rebuilt over the next several years to accommodate the unique needs of a modern sword making center. The forge and casting work-shop (3 above with the blue roof) stretches to the far end and beyond of the finishing work-shop (2 above). 

Anyway, with more swords in stock than ever before, and having known and worked closely with this esteemed business pretty much since I bought by first Hanwei Katana (and fell in love with it at first cut) we are delighted to run a bunch of new hot specials this month and while stocks last.

From unusual designs like the Pudao ‘sword on an oak pole’ to some no-nonsense, bargain priced Renshu Katana (both with and without bo-hi) a super cool leaf bladed Celtic Anthropomorphic design and quite a bit more – you can find all of these cool current deals in the HOT SPECIALS section of our site:

HOT SPECIALS

PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PICK OF THE BUNCH

Leaf blade, quality stitched and riveted leather scabbard, and solid brass fittings – you just don’t see swords like this anymore. And sure as heck not for the sale price of $222… But for Katana lovers, you need to SERIOUSLY consider the Practical Pro Elite when it is at the current sale price of just under $500..

And be sure to check back often, as this month we already had an unadvertised 3 DAY FLASH SALE on the amazing APOC Longsword that was so cheap, we were practically giving it away. And it won’t be the last..

So stay tuned folks, August should be a very interesting and cool month for bargain hunters and true aficionados alike..

Last month we saw quite a few swords on special – and as we start a new month, we were surprised and delighted to find that the master distributor who made these deals possible in the first place has EXTENDED the discount on a few select items into July..!

So without any further ado, here are the blades STILL on special and available at discounted pricing until the end of July and while stocks last..

Dragon King Bamboo Tanto

Still stunning with its hidden one piece bamboo look concealing a traditional differentially hardened blade with beautiful and clear hamon temper line, it’s still on special and marked down to a mere $183.99 so grab it while it’s at it’s most affordable price point ever..

Bamboo Tanto

Dragon King Tatsumaki Katana

Truly a bargain at it’s disconted price, down from the MSRP of $1,385.00 and down from it’s usual discount SBG price of $927.95, smart collectors of elite level blades know a bargain when they see one, and at the sale price of $727.95 it might still be expensive for many, but it’s marked down so hard that you more than get your money’s worth if you can swing it..

Tatsumaki Katana

Kingston Arms Type XIV

As June draws to a close, so does the current special on the APOC Survival Broadsword – but in its place, not one but TWO other popular APOC designs become available at heavily discounted prices.

APOC July Special # 1: Sirupate Kukri

Sirupate means ‘leaf blade’ in Nepali, and that perfects describes this unique cutting and hacking blades profile – narrowing from the grip to expand at the sweet spot with a wider, slicing blade edge. Fast and lightweight, it’s a deadly chopper – good value at its MSRP of $175, great value at our everyday low price of $139.95, but a true bargain at July’s special price of just $111.95..

Sirupate Kukri

APOC July Special #2: Wasteland Gladius

When it comes to leaf bladed swords, the Wasteland Gladius is a must have. With sleek, sexy lines terminating in a viscous point that sinks deep into its target with mininal effort, it’s a wasteland classic and a total steal when you consider its marked down nearly $100 from its very reasonable MSRP and is available to snap up for just $140.76.. If you don’t have one already, do yourself a favor and buy it now while its on heavy discount.
