We’ve been quiet on the blog front lately, but that’s not for lack of activity—in fact, it’s quite the opposite! So many small yet significant things have been happening that we’ve been more focused on the work itself than documenting every detail in the blog. But now feels like the perfect moment to share a few highlights with all of you, so…
First, a quick update on one of our bestsellers: Swordier blades. Due to their immense popularity, the wait times have extended slightly from 7 days to 7-14 days. For those who’ve seen these blades up close and personal, you’ll know why they’re worth every bit of the wait. With their perfect balance of affordability and craftsmanship, they remain a treasure in our collection.
Speaking of value, we’re thrilled to announce that the Legacy Arms series is back in stock! These medieval and fantasy swords are the epitome of bang for your buck—combining solid build quality with sub-$300 prices. Whether you’re a collector or a first-time buyer, these are swords you won’t want to miss.
For the lovers of bold and barbaric style, the Black Dragon Forge Cimmerian Sword now comes with its very own barbarian-style scabbard option. It’s the perfect match for this striking blade, giving it the kind of dramatic flair that demands attention.
Just days ago, we also welcomed two exceptional new models from the legendary swordsmiths at Citadel into our collection. These are not just swords—they are masterpieces of craftsmanship, revered by connoisseurs and collectors alike. However, their rarity speaks for itself: with only two of each model initially available, we now have just one remaining of each.
Citadel Wolf Katana
Citadel Dragon Katana
Yes, these swords come with a price tag befitting their status as some of the finest blades available outside of Japan. But ask any expert, and they’ll tell you that the only thing surpassing a Citadel sword in quality is an actual Nihonto—a traditional Japanese sword made by master artisans in Japan. For the discerning collector who understands the value of unparalleled precision, exquisite detail, and historical authenticity, a Citadel blade is nothing short of a steal.
If you’ve been dreaming of owning a true masterpiece, now is the time to act. With only one of each model left, these treasures won’t linger long in our armory.
Lastly, a teaser: several exciting projects are nearing completion! Some may be considered mundane, but others have us genuinely buzzing with anticipation. Without giving too much away, let’s just say there’s plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks. Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss what’s next!
Thanks for your continued support and patience as we navigate this whirlwind of activity. As always, we’re here to keep your sword dreams alive, one blade at a time..

Ever since we severed ties after finding out about some extremely immoral business practices of Ronin Katana and it’s owner, we removed all of their products from our store permanently – and that included some bargain priced Tanto.
That left a little bit of a void in the hot specials section, so it’s time to start restocking and expanding on the iconic Japanese war knife.
So here’s what’s on offer!
Ryujin “WHITE FANG” O-Tanto
We had this one listed before for around $125 – it’s hardly traditional, but badass factor is through the roof. The blade is long enough to qualify it as O-Tanto, also known as Ko-Wakizashi – so it’s a hybrid dagger/shortsword in technical terms.
But in practical terms, it’s a piece of deadly modern art (monotempered 65mn spring steel sharpened blade) – and now priced so low we might as well just give it away..
Like the white fang in the previous listing, the Sunobi is classified as a hybrid blade – most Tanto have blades around 11″ max, but at 13″ this qualifies as an ‘O-Tanto’. Monotempered 1045 carbon steel blade with rosewood fittings, it’s full tang and epoxied in place, but quality to price ratio is off the charts..
Now O-Tanto, Ko-Wakizashi are fun – but we also need some more traditional tanto. So we aimed for three things:
Blade quality – spring steel at a minimum. Monotempered, sharp and tough.
Style – the first three are all ‘cool’ – blades are all the same, but each Tanto has a distinctly different feeling and style
Price – we want these to be a total bargain. And they are – ALL of the blades below are just $39.95 (though the margin is so low it may need to be adjusted without warning)..
I think we achieved these goals, take a look at each model and decide for yourself (just click the picture to be taken to the full product description and listing in the store).
The Blue Crane
The White Dragon
The Red Dragon
All this and much more in the HOT SPECIALS and KNIFE, TANTO & DAGGERS sections of our site respectively!
This darned ‘flu is not helping any, but slowly the plethora of swords and blades waiting in the wings to hit the market continues with 2 new Renaissance era blades from Kingston Arms and a terrifying ‘thing’ by Mike Wallace and APOC.
So first, the ‘funnest’ one..
Kingston Arms Bollock Dagger
‘Bollocks’ of course is a British and Scottish term for ‘balls’ basically, and one quick look at this cheeky blades handle reveals why. But it was no joke, this was a 13th century blade frequently kept both as a quick use sidearm and as an award or symbol of pride and masculinity. This and the Celtic anthropomorphic hilt swords are some of the more unique blade hilts in history. Makes a great humorous or honorable gift for anyone who has real cojones..
They call it a ‘Shell Guard’ Cutlass, but we all know this is a pirate sword. Apparently one based on one of several owned by the infamous Blackbeard (who as you may know, was always armed to the teeth – with a brace of pistols and at LEAST one Cutlass)..
“Ahoy! This here cutlass be forged from steel finer than any ye’ll find in these treacherous waters. Resistant to the cruel bite of rust, ‘tis perfect fer escapin’ the fate of endin’ up with a hook fer a hand. Swift and deadly, this cutlass be. Generous terms await, for any crew armed with these be assured victory in the heat of a swashbucklin’ clash. These newfangled steels be like magic!”
And finally, Mike Wallaces ‘BEAST’ – the APOC Smatchet
I can’t really call THIS a knife..
I mean, technically it is a knife, but is also a hatchet, a shovel, something to open a can with or – well – deliver incredibly deep cuts and slashes and incredibly powerful thrusts (the thing weighs nearly 2lbs!). Titanium coated D2 steel with G10 riveted handle takes this weapon of relatively recent history and makes it look like it has been evolving since Fairbain first dreamed it up during WWII.
Background info – The British Smatchet: A Blade with a Bold Legacy
A Weapon Born in War The smatchet, designed by William E. Fairbairn during World War II, was intended for close combat and used by special forces – both British and American.
Design and Features Characterized by its broad, leaf-shaped blade, the smatchet is sharpened on one side and partially on the other. The handle is designed for a secure grip, making it ideal for slashing, thrusting, and chopping.
Psychological Impact Fairbairn believed that holding the smatchet instilled confidence, determination, and aggressiveness in the user. Its balance and weight made it an effective personal weapon.
Combat and Training The smatchet was simple to use, requiring minimal training. It was particularly useful in close-quarters combat, delivering powerful blows.
Modern-Day Legacy Today, the smatchet remains popular among collectors and historical reenactors. Modern versions are still produced, ensuring its continued appreciation.
Fun Fact: The smatchet’s name combines “smashing” and “hatchet,” reflecting its dual-purpose design.
Time for a rest to shake this darned ‘flu, in the meantime – enjoy these three cool new designs! More products and surprises coming soon..!
