Just added in time for Christmas – we have taken the same high quality differentially hardened T10 tool steel blade with bo-hi (fuller/blood groove) this line is famous for, added a Miyamoto Musashi style solid iron tsuba and given you the choice of 8 tsuka ito colors and 5 saya options to create your own design – saving you $50 off the usual price!

Assembled and shipped out within a week, it is the last guaranteed opportunity to get these custom swords before Christmas, so why not get it for $199.99 instead of $249.99?

EXCLUSIVELY available as a Christmas Special and scheduled to be discontinued after 7 days, get these while you can..

OFFER EXPIRED – PRODUCT NO LONGER AVAILABLE

It is getting awfully close to that crazy time of year again.. And the old motto – “the early bird gets the worm” has never been more appropriate..

From today until the end of the month (and while stocks last) Paul Chens Hanwei Forge are offering deep discounts on some of their most popular fully functional Katana, and as usual – SBG is passing on the savings to you..

There are 6 swords being offered at 50% off the MSRP – two of which you can save literally hundreds of dollars on..

The first, and the one that you need to pay the closest attention to – is the Hanwei 30th Anniversary Musashi Katana

Being a limited edition release with high quality, properly folded steel and real hamon, and now down to less than a dozen swords available, it is being cleared out at not $1300 but half price at $649.99 (which, is a true bargain – until Hanwei offered this final closeout price, they would sell at SBG for $879.99 – so that is a saving of over $220 from our previously already hugely discounted price).

Being a commemorative, highly collectible sword – once it is gone it is gone forever, so it is the last chance on this one..

The second high end, heavily discounted sword is also a Miyamoto Musashi themed blade – the razor sharp, specialized tatami cutter Musashi XL Lite Katana.

This sword has a MSRP of $950 and our usual price is $599.99 – but until the end of the month and while stocks last you can pick it up from SBG for just $474.99 – a saving of $475 than if you purchased at CAS Iberia and $125 from our usual ‘make no profits’ discounted price..!

And then there are all 4 swords from the monotempered 5160 Spring Steel blade Renshu series for the sub $300 market (well, they are usually $400, but we usually sell for $259.99).

Every sword in the Renshu series is now available for $45 off our everyday low price – but only until the end of the month.

With Christmas just around the corner, and forge direct swords typically taking 4-6 weeks to be produced and arrive, time is running out.

Added to this time pressure, the Chinese New Year shutdown is coming earlier than ever before, and as sales on Forge Direct Chinese have disappointed the master smiths, after extensive negotiations we were able to secure special pricing on their range of Chinese Swords – but only until the 12th of November..

To make things even more interesting, the master smiths also offered us three new stunning designs, and they are being offered at a special introductory price of 25% off the standard price until November 12th along with the existing designs (the only exception is the new laminated Duan Dao, which is already priced to the bone and they refused to budge even a single yuan on the price)..

The only caveat is, if the sale does not produce enough interest, once orders are fulfilled the master smiths will be shutting down the project. So there is a chance that this may not only be the best chance to pick up these amazing blades, if we are unable to meet their quota, it will be the LAST chance too..!

So have a look guys and see if there is anything there you like – we really hope we can keep this project going because these really are some of the best quality, best priced heirloom quality Chinese Swords ever offered to the West, and we want to ensure as much variety in the sword market as possible…

We just did a bit of a quick stocktake of the SBG Black Dragon Scratch and Dent swords that we have been offering over the last few months and discovered a few extra models that we thought we had sold out of..!

There are not many of each one left – but there are 4 models to choose from – all heavily discounted due to a permanently attached tsuka, but make great cutters straight out of the box.

Check them out below:

Eminently durable, and from now until the 9th of October more affordable than ever, the Hanwei Mercenary Sword is being heavily discounted – down from $325 to $229.99 and now a ridiculous $184.99..

If you are in the market for a tough, no-nonsense beater sword – here is your golden opportunity.

To see what all the fuss is about, check out this excellent review by ndave from the SBG Sword Forum.

And if it sounds like something that is right up your alley, buy it here – but don’t delay. The price will revert to normal on the 9th..
