CAS Iberia restock and some surprise items from Hanwei..

Our friends at CAS Iberia, master distributors for such well known and respected brands such as Paul Chen’s Hanwei Forge, Dragon King, A.P.O.C., Kingston Arms and more – has once again defied the supply chain odds and restocked with many of their most popular items.

So lets do some impromptu ‘unboxing’ to see some of the treasures that have just come back online again, starting with..

Tinker Pearce Longsword

It’s nearly impossible to hold the sub $250 price on this sword, and they are rarely in stock for longer than a week or two after they land, so if you have always missed out on this sword – for a limited time you have a chance to secure one before they sell out again (if you like Longswords, this is one of the very best at a crazy low price).

Tinker Pearce Bastard Sword

Another hit sword designed by Tinker, and another sword rarely in stock for very long, grab this hand and a half sword with BOTH hands before its sold out again..

Hanwei Great Wave Katana

A Hanwei classic and forceful cutter if ever there was one – the iconic Great Wave Katana is one of the best T10 tool steel blades on the market and is an absolute joy to cut with.

A.P.O.C. Waning Moon Yataghan

Tough as nails, the 9260 Spring Steel blade of this evolved version of an Ottoman empire Yataghan sword is finally back in stock after a long hiatus. A total bargain at just $139.95.

And some rare items..!

In addition to the regular and expected restocks, Hanwei also restocked a couple classic and rare items from the series that started the whole ‘Tactical Katana’ craze – the original and the best monotempered Raptor Series blades mounted in high grip, slip-proof Kraton handles in both Katana and Tanto formats!

Hanwei Classic Tactical Katana

Hanwei Tactical Tanto

Lots to choose from, the only caveat – we don’t know when the NEXT restock will be. So if you see something you like, grab it before it is gone..

Second Dune Sword by Scorpion Swords

The first House of Atreides Sword by Missouri based artisan and sword maker, Chris Palmer from Scorpion Swords, proved to be quite a hit. But a lot of customers were also asking for another design based on the ‘training swords’ seen in the 2021 movie, and so Chris got to work recreating it..

As with all his swords, he starts with a precisely cut sword blank made from 1095 carbon steel, into which he drills 6 holes for the handle mounting in preparation.

The basic blank is then shaped and given a rough edge before heat treatment.

The heat treatment itself consists of first hardening the blade by heating the steel to 1500 degrees until it becomes non magnetic and it is then quenched in brine (salt water). It is then tempered by heating the blade for 2 hours and then letting it air cool.

The blade is then sharpened and melded with a black linen mircarta handle, pinned and epoxied in place.

The end result of this technique essentially fuses the handle to the blade, with no looseness and no moving parts, making it as strong as humanly possible and essentially makes it a one piece construction.

All in all, it is an extremely tough, extremely durable blade – hand made in the USA and a total bargain at just $249.99.

New from Scorpion Swords

INTRODUCING: THE DARK KNIGHTS TEMPLAR SWORD

It is one of their most innovative and interesting designs to date – and perhaps one of the toughest arming swords history has ever seen – with their latest sword model, the Dark Knights Templar Sword

Most uniquely, the sandwich tang handle – one of the most durable designs ever invented – is not only a part of the handle but the black linen mircarta forms a short, brass pinned ‘cross guard’ from which the steel, which is all one piece construction, protrudes from within the mircarta wedge producing an attractive two tone effect.

While it may not be the most agile blade, weighing in 3 and 1/2lbs – it’s one piece construction and superior tempering ensures that it is as tough as nails, and considering it is hand made in the USA, is an absolute bargain at $269.99.

Legendary Swords Final Closeout Sale

They arrived at perhaps the worst time possible (boxing day 2021) and have been listed during one of the most difficult times in recent sword history. But after 6 months of holding them in stock the time has come to liquidate this project of ours once and for all..

Our misfortune is Your Opportunity!

While it is bad news for us, and the final death knell for the Legendary Swords Project (so much so that we have actually removed all reference to the original backstories for these swords) it is great news for fans of original, premium quality hand made bespoke fantasy swords..

Normally Fantasy swords are either stainless steel decorative things or $3000-$8000 one of a kind artworks – and the Legendary Swords Project was our (failed) attempt to bridge the middle ground, so the chances of seeing swords like these at anything similar to the current closeout prices is practically non-existent.

All the swords below are 100% fully functional, made from 5160 spring steel and with premium custom made original fittings and each one is based on a real world sword of some kind or another. So without any further ado, let’s take a look at the last three swords from this series for the very last time:

THE CASTIR

A ‘Fantasy Katanaesque design’ the 2.54lb Castir is lighting fast and was described by Martial Artist Joko Setiawan, who after using it “like a Katana, a Machete, and an oversized Cavalry Sabre, transitioning between forms, stances and using both edges in mock attacks without skipping a beat, had this to say:

“If I’m in a battlefield, I want this thing on my side. This is better than a Katana.”

Previous Price: $799.99

FINAL CLOSEOUT SPECIAL PRICE: $599.99

THE AELUTIAN GLADIUS

With it’s distinctive spear/arrow like head, this wide bladed Fantasy Gladius is the only sword I know of that is capable of bisceting a water filled bottle with a thrust! Great fun, and visually striking with its matching custom hand made scabbard.

Previous Price: $629.99

FINAL CLOSEOUT SPECIAL PRICE: $499.99

THE BRAND OF THE FALLEN

If you like your swords big, bad and slightly terrifying – the Brand of the Fallen is for YOU! Based on a hybrid design between a German Zweihänder and Flamberge (flame bladed sword), the blade terminates with a deadly undulating, serpentine Kris blade design that causes unpleasant vibrations to an opponents weapon when it makes contact and delivers distinctive tearing, shearing cuts when it makes contact with the target. Truly intimidating on every level and an absolute bargain at the final closeout price.

Previous Price: $899.99

FINAL CLOSEOUT SPECIAL PRICE: $549.99

As all swords are being sold BELOW COST this is most definitely the last time you will see these designs on the market. So grab yourself a piece of SBG history before these swords are gone forever..

Sengetsu Katana Special Offer

One of the latest additions to our line up of entry level Katana from Ryujin Swords has just become one of the best deals of 2022 – the Sengetsu Katana series.

The fittings are solid brass with tightly wrapped black cotton ito over genuine rayskin – but the best part, the price: now just $199.99!

With prices going up across the board it is rare that we are able to secure a LOWER price – so if you are in the market for a solid entry level cutting Katana, this deal should be at the top of your wishlist..!
