APOC’s Tactical Line Just Got Loud Again.

After a string of compact releases—knives, smatchets, and short blades built for tight encounters (click here for the full APOC line up to see what we mean)—the new Atrim Survival Odachi flips the script with unapologetic size and presence.

Designed by Gus Trim and affectionately dubbed the “Little Tigress,” this 43″ beast of black oxide-coated 9260 spring steel is built to hold your ground when the world won’t.

With a blister-free G10 grip, hooked guard, and molle-compatible fiberglass scabbard, it’s not just ready—it’s reliable. And at $225, backed by our lifetime warranty against blade breakage, it’s a rare blend of value and ferocity.

In uncertain times, this isn’t just a sword—it’s your line in the sand.

Steel, Spirit, and a Vanishing Price—Last Chance on the Ryujin Horimon Series..

The Ryujin Horimono Series was never meant to be ordinary. From the etched motifs that whisper of dragons, guardians, and forgotten rituals—to the precision-forged blades built for battle and beauty—the soul of each sword pulses with purpose.

But even legends bow to reality. With razor-thin margins and post-tariff pressures, the $79.95 price is being held together by sheer force of will—and it’s slipping away.

Re-enter the Ninja!

In late 2024, we set out to recreate a “true” Ninjato—not the Hollywood prop, but a blade rooted in historical research and Shinobi methodology. The result as you might recall is the Night Mission Shinobi Ninjato by Black Dragon Forge:

Designed for stealth, speed, and silent precision, it features:

  • 1095 high-carbon steel blade with a chisel tip for deep penetration
  • Distal tapering for lightning-fast handling
  • Leather-wrapped square tsuba to dampen sound
  • Extra-long sageo for unconventional techniques
  • Blowpipe and darts for silent ranged options

Though no antique Ninjato exists in any museum, this blade is the closest modern interpretation of what a real Shinobi might have carried.

Unfortunately, its April 6th launch collided with the worst of the trade war—tariffs spiked to 145%, and only a few lucky customers secured one before prices surged..

$100 Off Until July 31st

The Night Mission Shinobi Ninjato is back at its original stealthy price of $299.95—a full $100 off the tariff-inflated rate.

  • ✅ Free shipping to USA & Canada
  • ✅ No tariffs
  • ✅ Ships direct from Longquan
  • ✅ Limited availability

This is your chance to own a blade forged from history and refined for modern hands, but the special pre-tariff price is only available until the end of the month.

Final Call: Hanwei Closeout Sale – Once They’re Gone, They’re Gone…

The forge is cooling, the crates are nearly empty, and the clock is ticking. This is the final Hanwei closeout, and it’s moving fast.

All month long—and only while supplies last—we are defying the price rise trends by slashing prices on the last remaining Hanwei swords by an extra 10%. These are the final pieces from one of the most respected names in production swordsmithing, and with recent price hikes across the board, you will NEVER see these prices again (and indeed, this may well be the very last change ever to secure some of these classic Hanwei models).

Whether you’re a collector, a martial artist, or just someone who knows a good deal when they see one—this is your moment…

Airshipments Are Back! Swordier Orders Now Arrive in Just 7–14 Days

No, it’s not “Sword Air” – but it’s the next best thing!

After months of navigating stormy seas—literally and figuratively—we’re thrilled to announce that air shipping from Swordier in China to the USA is back on the menu.

Since the trade war flared up in April, we were forced to shift all Swordier shipments to seafreight. That meant:

  1. Lead times ballooned to over a month
  2. We had to pay hefty tariffs upon arriving in the USA (Up to 145% at one point!)
  3. Orders were consolidated at a US warehouse and then shipped domestically and
  4. And let’s be honest, with all of these additional charges on such high value, low cost swords to begin with, our profit margins were hanging by the barest thread..

But now? We’re flying again. And the best part? The new air shipping option only adds $10 to the price, while slashing delivery times back to a swift 7–14 days. That’s faster than a longsword draw in a tavern brawl!

Swordier: Still the Best Bang for Your Buck?

Don’t just take our word for it—check out Shadiversity’s recent review of the Swordier Type XVIIIc where he calls it:

“One of the BEST swords we’ve ever reviewed!”

That’s high praise from a man who’s tested everything from zweihanders to zombie cleavers. Shad dives into the pros and cons of the Swordier line, including:

  1. Excellent balance and handling
  2. Impressive edge geometry
  3. Unbeatable value

Whether you’re a collector, reenactor, or just someone who appreciates a well-made blade, Swordier continues to deliver serious steel without breaking the bank—or your patience.
