Ever since the disastrous fire well over a decade ago, the Hanwei Forge has always struggled to keep up with demand for their high quality, professionally made swords and other functional historical replica weaponry.
Recently, we have been pleased to see them restocking many of the once ‘lost’ Renaissance sword designs from the fire, and in 2024 we are going to be seeing even MORE classic reworked models from this era hitting the shelves and the newly rebuild forge, which is now going at full steam ahead, is a very modern, very serious business that is dedicated to supplying sword fans what they love at the best prices and the best quaity for years to come.
INTERLUDE: THE CURRENT FACTORY
- Administration Offices, Design & Development
- Polishing, Hand Fitting, Molding & Final Assembly
- Forging & Blade Grinding, Casting
After the fire of March 2011, the Hanwei factory was rebuilt over the next several years to accommodate the unique needs of a modern sword making center. The forge and casting work-shop (3 above with the blue roof) stretches to the far end and beyond of the finishing work-shop (2 above).
Anyway, with more swords in stock than ever before, and having known and worked closely with this esteemed business pretty much since I bought by first Hanwei Katana (and fell in love with it at first cut) we are delighted to run a bunch of new hot specials this month and while stocks last.
From unusual designs like the Pudao ‘sword on an oak pole’ to some no-nonsense, bargain priced Renshu Katana (both with and without bo-hi) a super cool leaf bladed Celtic Anthropomorphic design and quite a bit more – you can find all of these cool current deals in the HOT SPECIALS section of our site:
PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PICK OF THE BUNCH
Leaf blade, quality stitched and riveted leather scabbard, and solid brass fittings – you just don’t see swords like this anymore. And sure as heck not for the sale price of $222… But for Katana lovers, you need to SERIOUSLY consider the Practical Pro Elite when it is at the current sale price of just under $500..
And be sure to check back often, as this month we already had an unadvertised 3 DAY FLASH SALE on the amazing APOC Longsword that was so cheap, we were practically giving it away. And it won’t be the last..
So stay tuned folks, August should be a very interesting and cool month for bargain hunters and true aficionados alike..
