Just a quick note to let everyone know that we will close for the holidays on December 22nd and will not be open again until January 3rd in the new year. There will be a skeleton staff available during this time and some sporadic shipping, but for the most part, will be officially closed during this period.
In the meantime, for those of you who have left it to the last minute (and this is VERY MUCH the last minute) and don’t really mind if it comes in a little late, one last restock and it’s quite a treat. The super cool A.P.O.C. Survival Longsword
Freshly back in stock and still great value at just $175.95
There may be one or two more deals offered before we close for the holidays, but it is getting pretty tight and shipping a bit congested and chaotic. So don’t wait around, grab what you can while you can!
One of the last special offers of 2022, and one of the last specials that can still be received in time for Christmas, Dragon King have heavily discounted two of their seasonally themed monotempered 5160 Spring Steel blades, the Summer Lotus and the Winter Sun Katana
Winter Sun Katana
Summer Lotus
With identical monotempered, unpretentious 5160 Spring Steel blades (which of course, not being differentially hardened do not have any type of hamon or attempt to make a cosmetic one) the only difference between these two models is the theme and style of the premium quality fittings.
Great value at $379.99 – but a total steal at the Hot Special Price of just $279.99 until the end of December and while stocks last.
Following hot on the heels of the recent Hanwei Forge restock, Filipino sword brand Legacy Arms has also just restocked some of their rarely available, classic blade designs.
With such restocks being VERY infrequent, it could not have come at a better time – so let’s take a look at some of their best currently available items.
Excalibur Sword
A true classic with solid brass fittings, wire wrapped handle and tough 5160 Spring Steel blade, this fine replica inspired by the John Boorman movie back in the 80s, it is a fitting tribute and is rarely in stock for very long.
Highly praised for its appearance, handling and cutting ability – it is one of the best bang for your buck Viking swords around. Don’t let the price tag fool you, this really is a sword that is being sold for pennies on the dollar and is well worth a serious look.
No better a tribute could there be to the Lord of the Rings inspired ‘Sting’ sword than this faithful, fully functional replica by Legacy Arms. Rarely in stock, if you like the design don’t miss out as you can count the number of times it has been restocked since 2005 on one hand..! Still amazing value.
In addition to these three true classics, they also restocked a couple of Roman Gladii, the Riding Sword, Black Prince, Celtic Anthropomorphic and more. So check them all out while they are still available and just in time to make Christmas something very special indeed..
If you haven’t completed your sword shopping for Christmas this year – you definitely need to get your order in to make sure it is delivered hassle free and on time. But if you are quick, you can also grab some last minute restocks from our friends at Hanwei.
Here are some of the swords that were recently restocked some of which have not been available for several years. Starting with:
Golden Oriole Katana
One of the original Katana designs that put Hanwei on the map way back when, the T10 tool steel blade of this classic, long handled design is as good as has ever been, and truly quite amazing value at it’s original price of just $709.99
A solid, well built beater sword at a price that has not gone up in any significant way for over a decade lets you know this best seller is a sword you need to add to your collection while it is still available. Just amazing value and huge bang for your buck.
Another Hanwei Classic that has resisted inflationary pressures to date with an attractive, functional folded blade and beautiful complimentary scabbard.
This is one that disappears from stock too fast for its own good. Take a look at the sword and the price and you will know why – going, going, soon to be gone..!
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, there are quite a few more models that have just landed and come freshly back into stock. But with great prices and a spike in demand for last minute orders, as we often say, grab what you can while you can because the best swords will not be in stock for much longer..
To coincide with the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale our friends at Ryujin have released not one, but two new very cool Tactical swords made from monotempered 1060 carbon steel blades.
The first is the Tactical Broadsword – a responsive, well balanced double edged sword with paracord wrapped handle and embedded risers for an ergonomic and comfortable grip.
The second sword is the Wasp Waisted Gladius, with an attractive leaf blade sprouting from Japanese inspired fittings, complete with a brown rayon itomaki wrapped over black synthetic rayskin and menuki.
Both these swords are the complete package, including a paracord lanyard and wood core, leather wrapped scabbard with wearable belt and suspension system as a free bonus. And the best part, the price on each of these is just $129.99 as part of the Black Friday Special Introductory offer.
So if you are looking for a gift that you can be assured your intended recipient does not have without breaking the bank, or just want to snap up on of these beauties before they sell out, they are most definitely worth a serious look:
