The 8th release of the Doomsday Series swords designed by Jason Woodard and made by Chris Palmer in the USA is here. Introducing: the Sumerian

Based on ancient Mesopotamian mythology, Jason designed a very attractive leaf shaped shortsword as a fitting tribute:

An order was placed for the laser cut, certified 1095 carbon steel sword blank that would serve as the template for this piece:

From there, Chris shapes the handle and drills several holes that will be pegged and epoxied in place and grinds the rough edge of the blade to shape:

The blade is heated to approximately 1500 degrees, until it becomes non magnetic and then quenched in brine (salt water). The 2nd step is Heat Tempering, which consists of heating the steel to 500 degrees for 2 hours, and letting it air cool.

The tempered and heat treated blade is then fused to the Walnut wood handle with a series of 11 pins and epoxied firmly in place:

The end result?

And the best part, it’s just $269.99

A.P.O.C. Survival Katana on Special

The deals just keep getting better, and this is one of the BEST – the acclaimed ultra durable 9260 spring steel blade of the A.P.O.C. Survival Katana.

With effectively a one piece construction, the design leverages the strength of properly heat treated 9260 spring steel to the hilt. Just check out this flex test to see how strong and flexible these blades are (do not attempt flex testing at home, repeated flexing of the blade can cause weakening of the blade, what is shown below is destructive testing).

The MSRP on these swords is a very reasonable $205 – and we normally offer them at a heavy discount at $164.95 – but from now until the end of the month and while stocks last you can get it for a ridiculously low price of just $124.95.

If you haven’t got one of these already, now is definitely the best time to dip your toe in the water and snap one up when they are being sold at such a low price we are almost giving them away..

New from Scorpion Swords: the Daab of Charn Chai

It has been a while since we have posted anything new, but with Christmas coming in 8 weeks time – the mothballed sword industry has been trying to wake up in time for the expected pick up in sales this season usually brings. Of course, these days nothing can be taken for granted, but it is great to see that our friend Chris Palmer has been busy in the lead up and has just released a brand new design – a low point of balance, super fast in the hand indestructible version of the classic Thai Daab fighting sword..

Used either one handed, but long enough in the handle to be used in two hands, or used with one in each hand, the Daab is a highly versatile sword with a long (around 4000 year) history and echoed in the sword designs of neighboring Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos.

A fitting tribute, Scorpions version is a little heftier than a traditional Daab but maintains the low polar point of balance these blades are famous for and can deliver full force blows with the arm or super fast cuts and hacks by simply rotating the wrist and letting the blades weight, speed and momentum to do all the work.

A real bargain at just $249.99 – the only caveat, due to the recent influx of people preparing for Christmas orders the lead time on all Scorpion Swords has blown out from 6-8 weeks to 8-10 weeks time, meaning that even if you ordered it now, it is not guaranteed to arrive in time for the big day.
