SBG/Swordier Anduril Sword

As the first run of the Castir (mentioned in the previous blog post here) starts to reach its first run limit (only 6 out of 20 swords from the first run still remaining at the time of publishing this post), another sword that we have been quietly testing and refining is now available to the general sword buying public for it’s 3rd and final test run of 10pcs – and from the title, I am guessing you know what sword it is..

INTRODUCING: The SBG/Swordier Anduril Sword

While the fittings are authentic, they are fairly basic – but what makes this sword special is two main things:

  1. The blade – it’s made from perfectly tempered 1045 carbon steel and sharpened to cut straight out of the box – in other words it is entry level battle ready, not just a stainless steel wallhanger..
  2. The price – it’s more affordable than the official replica, has the same level of attention to detail and is fully functional – for just $299.99 – but is on special for it’s third ‘test run’ (i.e. 20pcs have already been sold and customers are all happy) for $229.99 – and even less if you use the 10% coupon code RETOOLING

So check it out LoTR fans, and be sure to check back often as we have quite a few more swords coming down the line over the coming days, weeks and months ahead!

NOTE: This was updated a couple of days later, we rushed the original description – it is 1045 carbon steel, not 65mn Spring Steel, and have dropped the price a little too!

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

SBG has officially severed all ties to Ronin Katana, and it’s effects on other, related projects..

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!
