We said from the outset that the APOC 3pc set deal may be ended at any time, and well, that time is now..

Deal is done and the sale is over.

But there are still a few more cool special last minute deals about to end worth checking out before the clock counts out to the end of the month:

SALE ENDED/NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Some of the best picks from the ending sales..

Kingston Arms Scottish Claymore

We already posted about this special earlier in the month so, just grab this bargain while it is still on sale at at crazy $229.99.

Dragon King Winter Sun

Monotemperered 5160 Spring Steel Dragon King beater from hell normally around $500, $350 at SBG and currently how much? $249.99? Yeah, don’t skip this one.. It’s one of our current most popular top sellers, and no wonder..

Celtic Leafblade

When this whole set of sword and cool leather sheathe with solid brass fittings is still $222 – you will be kicking yourself when it goes back to $359..

There’s a whole bunch of others about to go back to full price, so do yourself a favor and check them all out before time runs out:

HOT SPECIALS

SALE ENDED/NO LONGER AVAILABLE

If THIS APOC sword was around 2000 years ago (they would have bought every last one in this FLASH SALE, that is for sure)..

Made from monotempered 9260 Spring Steel and nearly unbreakable on the battlefield, if the ancient Romans had the APOC Tactical Gladius in their army, this post would almost certainly NOT be in English (okay, it’s an oversimplification – but if they had such modern blades at their disposal, odds are some of the defining moments in Roman history that went wrong on the battlefield might have gone a lot better if they had these sturdy, terrifying blades in their Kydex sheathes..)

Anyway, no way to really know – but you can run your own tests and have some serious backyard fun with this little blade right now as for the next 3 days it is on Flash Sale discount.

It’s normally $175 or so, and we sell it for a mere $139.95, but we are practically giving it away for the next 3 days for just $109.95!

For that price, and this quality, you just can’t go wrong. But hurry, the clock is ticking fast..

DISCOUNT ENDED

Just when you think there can’t possibly be any more specials…

It is unprecedented, three major sales and price breaks within 3 days. But the struggling sword industry is desperate for sales just to keep the lights on, and so as we always do we have passed on the savings direct to you guys so you can grab yourself a true bargain.

And these last two (as we don’t expect any additional deals like these to come through anytime soon!) cap off the sale very nicely!

SPECIAL OFFER #1: A-trim Designed Kingston Arms Cutlass

You could pay as much for the scabbard alone at some places. But this really is the complete package when it comes to a fast and agile, perfectly optimized cutlass designed by the legendary Gus Trim himself. MSRP on this one is $525 which is a fair price. Our usual discounted price, a bargain at $349.99. But from now until the end of the month you can practically steal it for $299.99

Kingston Arms Cutlass

SPECIAL OFFER #2: Dragon King Spring Sakura Katana

With an honest 5160 Spring Steel blade and awesome steel fittings, this tough and forgiving, durable Katana is perfect as a dojo workhorse or serious backyard cutter. With a $500 MSRP, and our usual price at a much more reasonable $379.99 – you can get it with a whopping $100 discount all month and while stocks last..

Dragon King Spring Sakura

What a crazy start to the month, but that’s all we have sales wise for now. So have a look at the bonanza and grab a bargain while you can..

Some bad news for Canadian Sword Lovers..

With recent restocks and sales you might be forgiven for thinking that all is well with the sword industry – but things are rarely as they seem..

In recent years shipping swords around the world has become increasingly difficult and complicated – and most recently CANADA seems to have singled out swords as ‘dangerous goods’ and have started returning our shipments sent from the US to Canada, even singling swords out with their own ‘dangerous goods’ checkbox along with air shocks, guns, ink cartridges, knives, liquids, swords and the dreaded ‘other’ category..

The merit of this spurious decision is a topic for another time, but least to say that lumping swords in with Airshocks, ink cartridges and liquids generally suggests that the perceived threat of shipping a sword is that it will somehow get out of its scabbard, out of the box and start flying around in the cockpit causing mayhem..

While this is patently ridiculous, and with swords both being legal to own across both sides of the North American border, the fact remains that swords have been once again singled out by brainless and fearful bureaucrats and, unable to sustain the shipping costs and losses at our end, we are left with no choice but to – effective immediately – halt all US->Canada sword shipments until further notice..

This has not cut off ALL our products from Canada – Darksword Armory, who are based in Quebec, can still ship for us and the cost remains entirely free. And for the time being, as they ship direct from the Forges in China, Project X, Forge Direct Japanese and Forge Direct Chinese are still able to ship to our Canadian customers..

But everything else is off the table, and so it would seem the only option remains to use the services of a third party shipping service such as Planet Express:

To say that this is yet another blow to our fragile industry is an understatement, but it is what it is and unless and until another economical shipping service surfaces, we are stuck with this very unpleasant situation..

More posts and some additional sales and specials still pending, but we needed to get this bad news out there and stem our losses before it gets out of hand..

Just landed – and selling out fast..

As our tiny industry continues to struggle with the messed up global supply chains there is the occasional ray of sunshine. In typical ‘new normal’ style, everything that can goes wrong DOES go wrong, and it was almost an absolute disaster for our good friends at CAS Iberia – the master distributor for such well known sword brands as A.P.O.C., Hanwei Forge, Dragon King and several others..

As with every recent shipment since 2020 – it was several months late due to supply chain hell – and then when it finally came in customs in their wisdom pulled it aside and subjected it to an item by item complete customs inspection, something that has not happened since CAS first started selling swords way back in the 1990s!

But after jumping through all the hoops and fulfilling many backorders for sword sellers all over the world – some stock is left over from this restock.. But with the next restock several months away (and with ongoing supply chain issues, HIGHLY unpredictable) and price pressure pushing everything up (and up and up) there are a few very popular and extremely good value deals still left if you are quick..

Here are some of the best and most time sensitive ones..

RESTOCKED: A.P.O.C. TACTICAL

Survival Longsword – $175.95

The latest addition to the A.P.O.C. line and proving to be one of the most popular. Definitely get your hands on this one before it runs out of stock again..

Survival Katana – $164.95

We can’t keep the price on this one where it is much longer, so lock in the best price now while you still can..

All A.P.O.C. Swords

RESTOCKED – PAUL CHEN HANWEI FORGE

Dark Sentinel – $137.98

A true classic, and crazy good value – just a simple, fully functional Katanaesque fantasy sword for pennies on the dollar.

Albrecht II – $297.95

It’s much bigger in person than the pictures suggest, well balanced and and a true classic. Price pressure will soon push it above $300 so lock in the classic pricing while it lasts..

All Hanwei Swords

Restocked – Dragon King

Savior Katana – $637.95

One of the best differentially T10 tool steel blades on the market.

Warfire Katana – $359.98

Dragon Kings super popular, highly affordable entry level sword with 65MN spring steel blade and premium fittings.

All Dragon King Swords

IMPORTANT NOTE – because they are simultaneously physically restocking, packing and shipping a long list of backorders and also trying to process and ship new orders – please be patient with shipping times. It may take a week to get everything sorted properly – but don’t wait until things get a little less hectic as all the best swords may well be gone by then..!
