You might recall that until a few days ago, Legacy Arms was offering the original Excalibur sword at a crazy sub $300 closeout price, And for those of you who were lucky to snap up the last few models before it was permanently discontinued, you definitely got a massive bargain.
But as the original model fades from view, a new one from the new Legacy Arms comes into play – and boy have they refined it and given it more than a shot or two of Ozempic..!
For the current version weighs a whopping 2lbs 1oz LESS than the original which tipped the scales at 5lbs 3oz while the refined new version has a much slimmer profile with distal taper (6mm at the guard down to 2mm at the tip) and shifts the balance point half an inch even closer to the hilt for truly amazing handling for such a long and powerful blade..
But the improvements don’t end there, overall it is just a much better sword..!
Considering the blade of the new model is just 1.5″ shorter but weighs just 3lbs 2oz is something of a miracle and makes it much more authentic and deadly than ever before.
Check it out in the store for all the juicy details:
Ronin Katana revolutionized what was available to the medieval sword market in the same way that they did for Japanese Katana, and we are delighted to announce two new models have expanded their already impressive medieval collection. And the best part, both the new arming sword and the new bastard sword are sub $300 bargains!
With blade and hilt construction already so close to what Chris Palmer at Scorpion sword does best, it was no surprise that they excelled at making very affordable, fully functional replicas inspired by the first installment of the Dune Franchise on the big screen..
To date, they created two swords from the House Atreides from that first movie – the Atreides Short Sword and the Atreides II – both pictured below respectively.
So it’s a lot of fun to announce that their third sword is one based on one of the Dune Franchises most iconic villains, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen – and will soon have a companion dagger joining it so that fans of Franchise can own their own functional set inspired by the blades from Dune 2:
THE INSPIRATION
So without any further ado, here it is – a fierce replica of Feyd’s right had blade made from expertly tempered 1095 carbon steel with a full tang sandwich hilt for well under $300.
THE REPLICA
With an ergonomic handle more or less fused to the blade using primary and secondary steel pins along with epoxy resin glue, the forward momentum blade is a fitting tribute to the super villain of the story and is a must have piece for fans of the Franchise and good quality, affordable swords in general.
Available for just $254.99 right here at the SBG Sword Store:
I must admit to being a little skeptical of the Man at Arms series from Kingdom of Arms at first. While they were designed as budget blades made to the specifications of Bruce Brookhart made at one of the best forges in India, I kind of fobbed it off because one of the limitations of Indian forges is that they are prohibited to ship blades with sharpened edges, and that means not being able to just take it out of the box and use it straight away.
However, as interest in the elegant blades of the Renaissance era continues to increase in 2024 and Indian export law doesn’t say a darned thing about how pointy an export can be, Indian tempering expertise and affordability lends them to making a faithful and very lethal replica of thrusting blades such as rapiers, and that is exactly what the latest offering from Kingdom of Arms Man At Arms Series has brought to the table, a very attractive and affordable (and ambidextrous) 17th century Rapier along with a companion main gauche available as a discounted package deal!
The Rapier is available for $359 (discounted down from $389) HERE and the Main Gauche sold separately for a very reasonable $144 (marked down from $169) HERE, but if you order the rapier there is an option to have the Main Gauche included as a package deal for just $68.55 more..!
Definitely a bargain, and did we mention that no matter which way you want to swing it, it comes with FREE SHIPPING!?
