What do you get the Japanese sword enthusiast who has everything?

Why a Naginata of course..

Made from differentially hardened tool steel with a real hamon and a saya (sheathe) that fits perfectly over the actual blade itself, the Hanwei Forge Naginata has not been available for many, many years – and while we can’t say for certain how long it will be available, we can say that it is available at the BEST PRICE EVER SEEN until August the 14th or until sold out..

Normally $860, this rare blade is available here at the SBG Sword Store for just $409.99

HISTORY OF THE NAGINATA IN A NUTSHELL

Originally believed to have been a Japanese variant of the Chinese Guan Dao, there were two variants – the O-Naginata (like the Hanwei version) and the Ko-Naginata.

The O-Naginata was used both on the battlefield by Samurai and were frequently attributed as the primary weapon of the Sohei warrior monks and the terrifying Yamabushi (mountain warriors).

The Naginata was typically used on the battlefield as an anti cavalry weapon, but the lighter, smaller ko-naginata was later adopted by female Samurai and used with deadly efficiency to protect their holdings and family when under attack.

Techniques for wielding this weapon include wide, spinning movements designed to clear the battlefield, and the extra leverage allowed for more forceful cuts than even the best katana could achieve.

In the meantime, here is a quick video review by CentralTexasSurvival

A few months ago we had a shipment of the official SBG Black Dragon Forge swords arrived, but our inspection team found a small problem..

For some reason, there was a bit of looseness with the handles – nothing major, but as our levels of QC on these swords and the SBG custom katana – both made at the same forge – we simply could not accept it.

After extensive negotiations with the forge we have repaired all the swords by permanently attaching the tsuka to do away with the wiggle once and for all. The only downside is that the swords cannot be disassembled – however if you are happy with the designs – you won’t need to as they are about as solid now as any sword could ever be..

But the upside (at least for you guys) is that we have discounted them by an average of $100 off the standard sale price!

Grab them while you can, the forge is taking extra steps to ensure this will never happen again – so this deal will NOT be repeated and they are only available at these prices while stocks, which were extremely limited to begin with, last..

From today until the 5th of June we have three of Hanwei’s Best discounted to below wholesale prices.

The first sword is the stunning Lion Dog Katana, made from Hanwei’s own answer to the ultimate katana steel, their proprietary HWS-1S Steel Alloy with one of the most attractive natural hamons ever seen on a production blade:

The Stunning Hamon of Hanwei’s HWS-1S Steel Blades

As nice as the hamon is the savings you can get if you are quick – down from a MSRP of $1,400 – down from our normally heavily discounted price of $929.99 to a ridiculously low $679.99..

The second sword is the classic Wind and Thunder Katana, a true power cutter down from $990 to just $499.99! And finally, for fans of medieval swords, the ultra durable – big and beefy – River Witham sword – down from $290 to a true bargain basement price of just $159.50..

All of this swords are brand new, best quality blades – not factory seconds or blemished swords – and the only reason why they are selling at such low prices is because Hanwei needs to rotate their stock on a regular basis – and these three excellent swords all just happened to become available at the same time.. But these bargains never last long, so if one of them interests you – you need to act fast..
