SBG Sword Store Blog

It’s a mad house around here – with Christmas just around the corner there are shipments flying every which way, the stragglers from batch 20 of the SBG custom Katana going out – you name it, it’s happening!

But to top it all off, we had a couple of Hanwei sales recently – most notably the Hanwei Practical Ninjato that ended up selling out within 24 hours..! (actually, the Ninjas got to them! I’m not kidding, someone else snapped them up from the warehouse and will probably sell them at a much higher price – we had to reverse 5 orders within a day due to this sadly)..

Anyway, with Christmas FAST approaching – and because sword deliveries are not instantaneous – if you haven’t already now is definitely the time to get any sword orders that you want by Christmas in. Usually we don’t advertise Christmas sales because our store is not amazon.com – we are a small business, not a corporate giant shipping machine.

But this year, especially on the Hanwei’s, we thought “why not” as their warehouse is almost hands down the most effecient in the industry – so when two more deals came along on two extremely cool swords, we jumped on them.

And I suggest if you find them of interest you do the same, especially on that stunning Iga Ninjato in the hot specials section because I would not be surprised if they are snatched up again super fast..

For other products in our store, it’s probably getting a bit too late to order anything else other than a Cheness sword. Here is there official ‘when to order by’ schedule:

International orders, Hawaii, Alaska, PR – Orders needs to be placed by Friday November 30th
PO Boxes in the continental US – Orders needs to be placed by Friday December 14th
Continental US (Eastern, Central) – Orders needs to be placed by Midnight Monday, December 17th
Continental US (West Coast) – Orders needs to be placed by Midnight Thursday, December 20th.

 Personally, I feel it’s leaving it a bit close – as we get closer to Christmas packages fly every which way but where they are supposed to, and delays are to be expected. So if there is something you want, seriously, now is the time to get it..

Once the Hanwei sale is over we will be bowing out of the Christmas madness and concentrating on making sure that any existing Christmas orders make it there in time.

But yes, in the meantime – if you are in need of a sword for Christmas, don’t wait another second..

Hi guys,

This is a bit of a special exclusive offer for SBG store visitors, and especially for anyone who is reading this blog right now (such as your fine self!).

Dynasty Forge are BACK – and they are back with a vengeance! We are proud to present you with several brand NEW products based on Dynasty’s 11 years of experience in the sword industry, and they have kindly offered SBG site visitors the first pick of the cream of the crop!

Additional selected new swords from their entire range will be added to the store over the coming days and weeks, but we kick it off with 3 Katana, one from their entry level monotempered Musha class, the Musashi – the clay tempered and Machine polished Silver Dragon from the Bushi Class and their elite hand polished, differentially hardened and forge folded (with 9000 layers) Daimyo Class Gold Eagle.

The Musashi has been around for a long time, but the new stock we are offering here is the November 2012 version – with a slightly longer blade now measuring at 29″ and standardized fittings creating a much better fit between the various components, addressing previous issues with poorly fit tsuka.

The Silver Dragon and the Gold Eagle are both brand new products – but built upon the solid foundation set by Dynasty since 2003 and take each class to a whole new level.

The Elite ‘Golden Eagle’ – a Katana with the Works..!
