Following hot on the heels of our Ryujin Custom Katana special offer, is the cream of the crop – our Master Smith Forged blades by Forge Direct..

The premise behind this special offer is simple – we are offering HUGE DISCOUNTS on recreations of the original prototypes I designed to test out what the Forge was capable of..

The Swords you see in the review are EXACTLY what you can get with this special price offer – optimally balanced and capable of truly amazing cutting performance on a wide variety of targets at both ends of the spectrum..

Now while the designs are optimized and the themes were pretty carefully thought out – both prototype recreations come with one custom option.

For the sinister looking Prototype 1 Katana, you can opt to leave it as is with the default tsuba or change to one of 4 other designs that I feel allow the option to personalize it a little, but do not hijack the theme or overall feel of this sword.

For the massive O-Katana (which, if you read the review, you will learn is nowhere near as cumbersome as it looks) – you can opt to get the original brown with gold leaf decorated saya or one of 6 other saya designs that work well with the existing color scheme.

Based on normal industry pricing, to recreate these swords would cost $1,549 for the O-Katana and $1,400 for the Katana – but as you know, the everyday sale price is $999.99 and $899,99 respectively – and this is exactly what it would normally cost to have these prototypes remade, as they were both made using listed custom options for both of these designs.

But because sales are slow this time of year, and we can lower prices at the forge by standardizing the production, we are cutting our profits to the absolute lowest price they can go and offer the swords for just $699.99 for the Katana and $849.99 for the O-Katana.

Here they are in all their glory:

Prototype 1 Normally $899.99 special price now $699.99

Prototype 2 The OKatana, normally $999.99 but on special for $849.99

And don’t forget, these discounted prices include:

FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING!

The only catch is that we can only offer these swords until the 14th of September, after which time the deal needs to be called off in preparation for Christmas orders – so if you love fully functional and traditional style Katana, you really should check this deal out..

In the meantime, here is a video showing the versatility and clean cutting ability of these exceptional Master Smith Forged T10 Tool Steel Blades..

Get ’em while they are still there..!

LOW PRICE AND FREE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!!

It has been a while since we have had any amazing deals in the Hot Specials section of the store. But from today, all that changes, and the first of our special offers is one of our best for lovers of high quality, fully functional Katana.

From today until midnight the 31st of August, you can pick up two heavily discounted versions of the standard Ryujin custom Katana, but with a few less customization options – and of course – a down to the wire price..

The first one has made an appearance about once a year since the Ryujin custom Katana line was launched, and features the famous Ryujin T10 tool steel blades with real hamon, but built around  a classic iron Musashi tsuba.

A fair market price for this sword is $269.99 plus shipping, and the closest relative is $229.99 plus shipping ($15 to $60 depending on the location). But until August 31st (when these products will be withdrawn from sale) you can get it for just $199.99 and FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING!

The second one follows the same basic deal with the same customization options but with an ELITE Choji Midare blade that is several levels up in quality from the excellent, but entry level, standard option.

Fair market value on this sword is $569.99 (even that is under-priced to be honest) but you can get it for just $429.99 – and again, with FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING!

Even though the number of customization options are less than the standard Ryujin line – there are enough possible combinations to come up with something that you like. Here are a few I personally think look great.

Check them out in the Hot Specials Section of the Store while they are still there..

This offer expires 31st of August, after which time they will be withdrawn from sale. So bargain Katana hunters, and especially those outside of the USA, this one is for you.

It is one of the best selling, most popular high end swords in the Paul Chen Hanwei line up. But from now until the 2nd of July, you can pick up the AWESOME great wave Katana for BELOW WHOLESALE pricing at just $499,99..

Weighing 2lbs 10oz and with a point of balance 5″ from the tsuba, the Great Wave delivers incredibly powerful, authoritative cuts – the Great Wave is the complete package, suitable for display, backyard cutting or serious dojo applications – and can be yours at over 50% off the recommended retail price..

But only until the 2nd of July and while stocks last..

In the meantime, here are some pics taken from the SBG sword forum of the sword in question (click on the pics for a larger resolution picture).. For $960 it is good value for money. At $500 – an absolute steal..

Premium quality rayskin, ito wrap and iron fittings with Tomoe theme..

The demon menuki looks cool peeking out behind ultra tight ito wrap..

Stunning looking gold plated tomoe crest on the iron kashira

An of course, the differentially hardened T10 tool steel blade

Gotta love that rare ultra long ‘O-kissaki’ tip..

And a shot ‘under the hood’ – THIS is what a beefy full tang SHOULD look like..
