Below Cost and Half Price Specials from Hanwei!

From now until the 24th of April we have two of Hanwei’s finest swords available at below wholesale prices..!

The first sword is the stunning Musashi XL Light Katana, with a unique blade profile designed specifically for fast cuts against tatami mats and other light targets in a dojo setting.

Here you can see a picture of the blade profile, very deep and razor sharp with bo-hi to make it extra fast and provide a loud tachi kaze (sword wind sound) when it swishes through the air.

sh6003lgf_3Add to this attractive leather ito wrap over real rayskin, iron Musashi themed fittings and high end Hanwei quality, this sword usually retails for a MSRP of $950 but its available at less than half price while our sale lasts.

And for medieval sword enthusiasts, we have the 5160 Spring Steel Rhinelander Bastard Sword.

This awesome cutting sword has been out of stock for many months, but Hanwei accidentally over-ordered and this is brand new, just landed stock available at below wholesale pricing for the lucky few quick enough to grab one.

As a follow up to the previous post, we have taken an inventory count and the limited restock is now in effect.

We have a small number of bo-hi blades and a larger number of solid bodied katana available – there are a few key components missing – most prominently the two Dragon themed tsuba and the mother of pearl saya, but all others are in and ready to assemble and ship as per your design. Stocks are limited, the next full restock is expected in late April/early May – so if you have been waiting to custom design your own Ryujin katana, now is a good opportunity!

We will update the blog again as soon as we have finished double checking the inventory count to make sure we can fulfil everyone’s orders, so if you have been waiting on a chance to get one of these semi-custom designs, there will be a limited opportunity coming VERY soon..!

 

Future of Forge Direct..

As you will know already, Forge Direct as we know it ends at midnight the 10th of April and there is now less than 48 hours before all the previously available models are permanently archived, discontinued and never available again..

And until the final hour, you get one last chance to secure one of these stunning blades at a whopping 25% off..

But after they are all gone, it does NOT mean the Project itself is at an end.. While the smiths we worked with before have pulled the plug, Master Xianlong who made the famous Jian of Marquis Yi and original Dragon Dao with Project X Chinese has agreed to continue to work with us, and a new master and our personal friend, Master Michael Ye, has also agreed to produce some swords for us – so while the original Smiths we started the Project with will finish taking new commissions from the 10th of April, like a Phoenix, the Project rises again and will continue and grow over the coming months, stronger than ever..

Two swords we briefly released and then archived once we heard the Project was suddenly forced to change direction will be coming back once the currently selection is locked away – and that is the stunning Red Ebony Jian and the Haiyantang Zodiac sword.

More swords will be added as we go, indeed behind the scenes quite a few new designs are being negotiated, so while the current models are indeed going away, new ones are slowly lining up to take their place and whether you grab one of the closeout models before they are gone or wait to see what is next, Forge Direct will go on..
