A picture worth 1000 words…

Need we say more?

Check out all the details on our new AMAZING SBG EXCLUSIVE AND LIMITED EDITIONS page..

“If I’m in a battlefield, I want this thing on my side. This is better than a Katana!!” – Joko Setiawan, Indonesian martial arts expert.

Only 20 pcs available for the first discounted run, 13 left at the time of writing this post.. So if you want one, you’d better be quick!

10% off EVERYTHING while SBG retools..

As per our recent announcement of severing all ties with Ronin Katana, we have had to remove over 100 products from the store, and it is going to take some time to find new and better alternatives to what was previously fulfilled by Ronin..

So to make up for this, while we are busy re-tooling and going back to suppliers we previously refused to do business with out of loyalty to Ronin Katana (which in hindsight, was a terrible mistake) we are offering a whopping 10% discount on EVERYTHING in our store with the coupon code: RETOOLING

So grab a bargain while you can – as you know we always provide the best possible discount ALREADY build into each and every product, so this is truly a significant opportunity to grab a real bargain from some of the best and most trustworthy sword makers in the industry.

We are already making good progress on finding some really cool tried and tested brands and blades, as well as significant investments in some more SBG exclusives. So don’t miss out, check the store (we have a LOT of blades in stock from many different highly respected manufacturers) and get what is likely to be the best deal of the year..!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Customers,

We regret to inform you that, effective immediately, Sword Buyers Guide will no longer be carrying Ronin Katana products – and that this has also caused us to temporarily close down Project X, Forge Direct as they were our partners in these projects and we are in the process of upgrading and re-tooling these projects accordingly. This decision was made after careful consideration and is based on several serious concerns that we have chosen not to disclose at this time due to potential legal implications.

We want to assure our customers that this decision is not related to the quality of Ronin Katana’s products, but rather to our commitment to upholding the highest standards of business practices.

We appreciate your understanding and support during this transition. Thank you for your continued loyalty to Sword Buyers Guide.

Sincerely, Paul Southren, Sword Buyers Guide

UPDATE: Any customers who will be effected by these changes will be contacted personally over the course of the next few days. All original product listings can currently be found in the ARCHIVES page of the store.

Sale on Ryujin Horimono Series Over But..

As the old adage goes ‘all good things must come to an end’ and so it is with our recent $79.99 introductory price on the amazingly affordable Ryujin Horimono Katana line.

However, there’s two pieces of good news.

GOOD NEWS 1: The sale went very well. Not well enough that we can keep the special price any longer, but the new price is only $20 more, so it will still be on special – just not crazy special like it was for the sale..

GOOD NEWS 2: Until the end of the month, anyone who sees this post can STILL get the discount with a $20 coupon code!

The only caveat? You have to use the coupon at the time of ordering to get the discount, we can’t refund you if you forgot to add it or found this post after you already ordered (though if that does happen, contact me and while I may not be able to refund the $20, I’ll do my best to find a way to be as fair to you as possible).

But long story short, if you still want the special pricing, here’s one bonus chance!

Temporary Retooling for Forge Direct Chinese

Don’t panic, Forge Direct Chinese hasn’t gone out of business! But due to circumstances that I will explain in detail at a later date, we need to retool each model and mix things up a bit with a new and better supplier.

But for now, the entire line has been temporarily mothballed and cannot be ordered until we have finished the retooling and overhaul.

Sorry for the inconvenience as we know some swords only just came out, but it needs to be done to improve and maintain QC levels and keep pricing as low as possible (indeed, my hope is when the line does return, the prices will be even LOWER!).

Thanks for bearing with us!
