Expires Midnight Friday September 12th

For many years people have been asking “why don’t you sell Cold Steel Swords at the SBG Sword Store?” – after all, they seem to be right up our alley, with a solid reputation for:

  • Blade toughness and overall durability
  • Variety (Cold Steel tend to make types of swords that few other manufacturers bother with because they are kind of “specialized”)
  • Price (well, depends where you buy them – the MSRP is, at least in my opinion, way too high. But if we could get them for a decent wholesale price – we would, as we always do, pass on the savings).

Well, I am pleased to say that the time has come – we have been able to source them at a great price, and after seeing the New Man at Arms Collection, we have kicked off with a selection of 6 of the best. As always, priced as low as we possibly can. And as always, selected by answering the basic question “would I buy these myself at this price?”..

So let’s take a quick look at what we chose!

P.S. To celebrate the new additions to the SBG Sword family, you can take $10 off each and every sword order placed between now and midnight (EST) Friday the 12th of September with the coupon code shown right! Have fun!

 

New Product: Cold Steel Gim Sword

The Gim was the first or maybe second Cold Steel sword in my personal collection, and I must say, it is a very impressive and attractive piece.

The blade is scary sharp, and the sound it makes as it cuts through the air loud and intense – which is quite rare for a sword without a fuller.

But as you know, it doesn’t just cut air..

Cuts pretty much anything you care to put in front of it

These days it can be hard to source at the original review price, but we have done our best to price it as low as we possibly can – and considering what you get (the rosewood scabbard is STUNNING just in itself) it is an absolute steal.

New Product: Cold Steel MAA Chinese War Sword

The second Chinese Sword is also serious “eye Candy” – and new as of 2014 from the Man at Arms Series, a new line designed to keep costs down by bluing the blade instead of spending time (and money) polishing the naked steel. And in this case, not only is the new version considerably cheaper than the original – in my opinion at least – looks a lot cooler.

Sure, it may not be appealing to purists, but collectors like myself who appreciate a power chopper – it is a must have.

New Product: Cold Steel 1917 Cutlass

The 1917 Cutlass, also with a blued blade, is in a way the final evolution of the sword and the last time swords were used as a weapon of war.

I chose this sword not only as a tribute to the brave men of the war to end all wars, but also for purely pragmatic reasons – it is a one handed cutter whose value for money is off the charts, and makes for some serious backyard cutting fun!
