Hanwei Raptor Blow Out Sale!

Raptor-sale-heading

A small gap between the rayskin and the wood behind it is an extremely common cosmetic flaw for swords under the $300 price point. The main reason is, real rayskin is VERY expensive – a single skin costs around $70 and is only good for ONE full rayskin wrap or 3-4 panels (which is why you never see full wraps these days. Well, almost never. We do full wraps on Project X, but that is a different story – and a different price point!).

As such, the forges try to get the most out of every little piece of Rayskin they have – but it is not good enough for the Hanwei forges Raptor line..

So when they received a shipment with small gaps showing, they decided to offer them to SBG as factory seconds with a massive discount, and we are passing the discount directly to you!

There is NOTHING wrong with the blades or other fittings, just small gaps in the rayskin peeking out here and there. Something only visible if you look for it (after all, these models have battle wraps on the handle, so the middle section is covered anyway). But the savings are easy to see – $260 off the MSRP and $100 less than our usual already discounted price..!

So for anyone in the market for a serious Japanese style beater sword (and the Raptor series designed by James Williams are among the best of the best beaters out there) here is a rare opportunity to pick one up at a drastically reduced price point..

Two models are available, check them out below.

Zombie Hunting Kit!

Probably the best close range solution in the face of a zombie apocalypse is a machete. No reloading required, it’s extremely durable and requires no special training or a large amount of room to use effectively.

Of course, some Machete’s are better suited to the task than others. And naturally, you will want a back up or two, and maybe a smaller knife to use in the other hand in case they get too close and you need to inflict serious damage when you don’t even have room to swing a machete.

Well, Cold Steel has a selection of Machete that are PERFECT for zombie slaying. So at SBG we put together the ultimate zombie hunting kit – two of their most suitable zombie busting blades with heavy, forward balanced cutting action to deliver maximum impact, both in sheathes for easy carry – a “daily” use machete you can keep at hand for day to day tasks (which you can throw before drawing your machete of choice, keeping one in reserve in its sheathe as back up) – and a cool claw like “Karambit” knife for when they get in close. All bundled together for one low price with FREE SHIPPING in the USA..

Let’s take a quick look at what you get in the kit:

KOPIS MACHETE

kopisThe Kopis is an ancient Greek design, and Cold Steel brings this serious cutter into the 21st century with a tactical rendition designed to inflict maximum zombie carnage.

This would be my first choice for a zombie ready side arm, and comes complete with a sheathe for easy carry. Check out some (appropriately grumsome) testing of this dedicated cutter in the video below to see graphically what I mean..

ROYAL KUKRI

royal-kukri

The Kukri is extremely similar to the Kopis and is my second choice for zombie hunting. Personal preference may make it your first, but like the Kopis it comes with a sheathe so can be dual weilded, kept as a backup or given to a fellow zombie apocalypse survivor..

Again, its sturdy with a design where very little can go wrong. Which is exactly the kind of sword you want in the middle of a zombie apocalypse..

BOLO MACHETE

bolo

So far the retail price on both Kopis and Khurki works out to be $89.98, so from here on out everything else you get in this package costs you an extra cent! (plus shipping is free)..

But don’t let the price fool you – the Bolo is another forward heavy cutter that may not be in quite the same league as the previous two blades (MSRP $18.99 compared to $47.99 and $41.99 respectively) but it makes for a great “everyday” use chopper, and can certainly do some serious damage in a pinch..

KARAMBIT

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Finally, a good knife to keep close in case the zombies get too close for comfort, the Karambit knife is akin to a claw that can be used in a pinch to cut off undead fingers, pluck out eyes, hamstring and otherwise give you enough room to do some damage with your primary zombie slaying sword.

Easy to use and small enough to slip into a pocket, the video below is of its steel cousin. This particular blade is from Cold Steel’s Nightshade serious and is actually made from “Grivory” which is, in their own words:

the latest in fiberglass reinforced plastic, and stronger than even the super tough Zytel® we have used in earlier models— they are UV and heat stabilized, making them impervious to the elements.

Anyway, here are some ideas on how it can be used..

Normally $15.99, it is included free in the SBG Cold Steel Zombie Hunters Kit.


 

So there you have it! 4 of the best, most useful Zombie hunting blades in a value pack with FREE SHIPPING!

Don’t wait until the zombie apocalypse is here to get yours..

From the start of the month until the 11th we have been running a special $40 off sale on EVERY Dojo Pro Katana in out store to celebrate the “Sakura” Cherry Blossom season in Japan.

Well as the cherry blossoms come to a close, so does the sale.. Now there are only a few days left, and this is not the kind of sale that comes about very often. These swords are extremely popular and don’t really need a sale – but as Chris from Ronin and I are currently in Japan checking out some Japanese swords, we thought – why not..?

So don’t miss out – check out what is on offer and save! Click here for the discounted Dojo Pro line up!
