Forge Direct 2.0 was officially launched on the 4th of May, and in many ways while it was sad to see the old smiths stop taking new orders last month, what has come out of the ashes as it were is potentially even more exciting to even more people than ever before..
I posted about the new swords in a post on the 31st of March appropriately entitled “the Future of Forge Direct” but to make a long story short, this vision became a reality on the 4th of May, with all the sneak previewed swords I mentioned in that post now available to order, and some new ones, including some rather big surprises..
In addition to the 4 traditional, heirloom quality Chinese swords, we added two Japanese style blades to the mix – the first one, a stunning Nara period Tachi..
And the second, our most elite custom katana to date, the Forge Direct Elite Choji Midare Hamon Custom Katana
This Katana has the most customizations of ANY custom sword we have ever offered at SBG and the nicest blade.. And what is even better, the price – we squeezed our margin to an insanely low level for this introductory offer and this time the smiths do not mind as they understand our “deliver maximum value possible” philosophy..
Since this new addition brings us to three lines of custom katana at the SBG Sword Store, I did a bit of a special write up to help clarify what the differences are that you can read here.
In the meantime, well..
