3 Great Deals to Start the month with

We hit the ground running in February with new hot special offers on three awesome swords from Kingston Arms, Dragon King and A.P.O.C. Tactical starting with our best deal yet on the extremely popular Gus Trim designed 9260 Spring Steel Type XIV arming sword:

Normally this medieval arming sword is sold for $349.99 (MSRP is actually $500) but from now until the end of the month and while stocks last you can grab it for our BEST PRICE EVER of just $279.99..

Talk about a bargain!

Following hot on its heels we have something for lovers of Japanese weaponry – the classic arrow head themed Fletching Katana from Dragon King:

With a high quality differentially hardened 65mn Spring Steel blade, buffalo horn kojiri and kurikata on the saya, custom made Copper/Nickel alloy fittings and tight, light brown cotton ito over real rayskin it ticks every box for a practical and attractive dojo cutter and is marked down from our usual low price of $349.99 (MSRP also $500) to just $299.99 giving you a $200 saving from the manufacturer direct price:

And last but not at all least, a bargain for fans of Tactical style swords, the re-imagination of the medieval one handed broadsword, the Survival Broadsword:

Once again the MSRP on this one is $219 which is not a bad price considering its modern 9260 monotempered blade and Molle compatible fiberglass sheathe. At our everyday low price of $175.95 it’s quite a bargain, but it is currently on special for (Wait for it) a mere $134.99!!

All of these specials are valid until the end of February and while stocks last, so grab yourself a bargain and save a small fortune on these cool fully functional sword designs.

Major Hanwei Restock

While there are many signs that 2023 is going to be a tough year for the sword industry, at least one of the bulwark manufacturers – Paul Chen’s Hanwei Forge – starts the year almost fully stocked and with more models of swords currently available now than at anytime in the last 3 years..

How long the most popular models will be available of course remains to be seen, but here are some of our top picks from the recent restock that savy sword buyers will snap up while they are available.

Top Picks from the Restock

Lowlander Sword

A true beast of a sword with a whopping 48″ blade and 21″ handle for just $359.99 gets you a whole lot of steel for a bargain price. No wonder it is never in stock for long..

Albrecht Hand and a Half Sword

True value at just $297.95 this classic hand and a half sword is very well built and powerful and a fantastic design that they got right the first time..

Tinker Great Sword of War

The bargains just keep on coming for Hanwei’s medieval line, and after many months of being absent we are delighted to announce the restock of the Tinker Great sword of War, another big and powerful, well made and well designed sword from the Tinker Pearce/Hanwei collaboration. Crazy good value at just $279.99.

Scott Rodell Cutting Dao

If you love cutting swords and haven’t tried a good Dao before, THIS is the sword you need to check out. You will truly be surprised and delighted how easily it cuts with just one hand, and if you are a martial artist, you MUST have this sword in your collection. You will NOT be disappointed..

The Banshee

This is one that is rarely in stock for anything more than a few days at a time, partially because not many are made but primarily because they are easily one of the best value for money and truly unique swords to grace modern sword armories. Highly recommended.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what is on offer right now at Hanwei, so take a look and enjoy the literal smorgasbord of quality swords freshly restocked and waiting to add to your collection:

Forge Direct Chinese Chinese New Year 25% Discount!

As you probably know, the Lunar New Year is due to fall on Sunday the 22nd of January, and all the sword forges we work with for Forge Direct are currently on holiday and will be until the end of the month.

What you may not know is that when they pick up tools again, refreshed and invigorated in the best sword making weather of the year, they tend to do their very best work. So it has become something of a tradition at SBG to offer our very best deals in conjunction with the forges to kick off the Chinese New Year with a bang.

As such, from today until midnight the 22nd of January we are offering a whopping 25% discount off each and every Master Smith forged blade from Forge Direct Chinese. But it gets even better, because in addition to all the classic Forge direct designs we are delighted to offer 3 additional models from our friends at the Baojian Sword Forge.

New Blade #1

Forge Direct Water Lily Jian

Weighing in at less than 2lbs total weight, the Water Lily is a stunning Damasus steel folded 1095 carbon steel blade with premium quality black ebony wood and solid brass fittings. Perfect for serious Taiji and Kung fu practitioners, collectors and backyard cutters alike! Normally $1000, down to just $750 with the 25% discount:

New Blade #2

A classic Tang dynasty ‘proto-tanto’ with a contemporary touch, this stunning piece of blade art has a folded steel, hand hammered blade with a unique serrated spine. $600, but down to only $450 as part of the Chinese New Year promotion.

But these new blades are just the tip of the iceberg, check out the entire range of classic Forge Direct Chinese blades and grab them at the best price humanly possible until the 22nd.

The only catch? Forging does not begin until the start of February so there will be a slight delay. But more than worth it for the steep discounts on offer..
