LAST CHANCE: Multiple Major Sales Ending in Less Than 24 Hrs..

We now have less than 24 hours left on THREE major sales events at SBG.

SALES EVENT ONE: APOC TACTICAL

It’s not the first time that APOC has been on discount, but it is likely to be the last for some time and the best chance to try out a new and modern take on a huge variety of Tactical swords inspired by many different cultures and time periods.

SALES EVENT TWO: Legacy Arms

With $100 discounts almost across the board, this crazy good opportunity to find out how good the new Legacy Arms forge really is is about to expire. Very unlikely to see these swords at these prices again, so be certain to check the listings for some true bargains.

SALES EVENT THREE: Forge Direct Chinese

Five models from Forge Direct Chinese are about to be permanently retired, and two more Feathersteel and Spinsteel blades that were recently brought back are ending their promotional price within the next 24 hours, so you snooze you lose if you are interested in heirloom quality, traditional Chinese sword designs spanning several thousand years of history.

Here’s the blades that will only be available for the next 24 hours at hugely discounted pricing..

Going, going – nearly gone – if you want a premium quality blade that almost no-one else has, you had better act before they are gone for good..

NEW and On Special: Legacy Arms Maintz Gladius

As anyone who has been following this blog recently will know, Legacy Arms has taken great strides over the last couple of years to update and completely overhaul their sword offerings by transferring production to a bigger and better forge – and the most recent sword to be overhauled in this way is the wasp waisted Maintz Gladius:

With a redesigned handle and distally tapering blade, it’s both stunning to behold and frightfully effective – and like all Legacy Arms blades this month, hits the ground running with the very best promotional price offer possible..!

Until the end of the month you can pick up this $265 sword with a $100 discount – and snap it up for a mere $165..

With only 10 days or so left in the promotion, and with the other swords in the series selling like hotcakes – if you want to grab the newest blade fresh from the forge at the very best price, well, you know what to do..

Special Reintroduction: Feathersteel and Spinsteel Swords

But wait, there’s more! We’re thrilled to reintroduce two exotic steel swords using and advanced and rarely seen folding techniques made by one of our favorite Master Sword Smiths, Master Michael Ye. Both Spinsteel and Feathersteel (also known as Windsteel, as the pattern looks like the wind blowing on the surface of a lake) are highly complex and rather rare forging techniques that Master Ye specializes in.

Here the steel revolves as it is folded and pattern welded – with a consistent ‘feathered’ or ‘wind surface’ pattern for a Feathersteel/Windsteel blade or in the case of Spinsteel, mixing more traditional Damascus with Feathersteel for the most eye pleasing, complex pattern.

The technique when done by a Master Smith results in a beautiful and yet still VERY strong blade, take a look at this video made for a limited edition Windsteel blade by Master Ye tested destructively against a wide variety of traditional and challenging targets..

And the best part is, they are ALSO on sale until the end of the month, allowing anyone who is fast enough to snap them up at the very best price humanly possible..

Golden Dragon Feathersteel Jian

With a refined Otcagonal profile blade and fine Feathersteel patterning from the hilt to the tip, the Golden Dragon Feathersteel Jian is a forceful and impressive sword with attractive Dragon themed fittings. The usual price on this beauty is $1,599.99 but is available with a 25% discount of $399.99 until the end of the month.

Spinsteel Jian

This one is the most complex of the two, alternating a Feathersteel pattern by rotating (spinning) the steel as it is folded and pattern welded into shape. It’s incredibly hard to make and only a handful of smiths still know how to make it – so if you want something truly unique to add to your collection, the Spinsteel Jian would have to be it. Because it is so hard to make, the price reflects this and it is normally $2,299.99. However until the end of the month you can save $575 with 25% off..
