SBG Sword Store Blog

For those of you who were never interested in the project in the first place, this is probably GOOD news. But for everyone else, sorry – we actually went over the ideal production limit in just 4 days, such is the demand for these premium quality, great value Shinken.

Just a quick warning: Be ESPECIALLY Cautious from now on any China based sellers who suddenly have ‘Shoshu Kitae’ blades for sale. Based on previous experiences, many of those swords are the rejects from OUR batch, and sold cheap because they are really only suitable for display – but the sellers don’t tell their customers that..

It’s a jungle out there..!

Anyway, I will be in contact with everyone who ordered with updates as we go – in the meantime, if you managed to grab one of these in time CONGRATULATIONS! I know there are a few finer details being worked out with some customers right now, but bear with me – I’ll be in touch personally as soon as humanly possible.

And for those of you who are sick of hearing about it, next post will be something completely different. Promise.. 😉

To be honest, we just went over a maximum intended limit. But the forge said they are confident to take on a few more orders – however we can and will pull the offer if too many last minute orders come in at once, after all – this is the first and last batch for 2020 – but only until midnight EST on the 27th at the ABSOLUTE LATEST!

There will be a brief period where we check to make sure everyone is happy with their designs and do not want to make any last minute changes, and then we lock them in and work begins on them in earnest next week.

To those who ordered already, I’ll be in touch again shortly!

Yes, the clock has finally counted down to zero and the time has come. The LONG anticipated re-release of Project X Japanese (2.0/custom options) is finally here and the opportunity to pre-order has just begun!

Already, early-bird subscribers are getting in on the action. Here is where we are up to now – even though we only just opened (just one of the many reasons why you should subscribe to the Project X Newsletter, but I digress as it is a bit too late – the issue for 2020 has already gone out hours ago).

So if you have been watching along, there isn’t much more to say. You can find out more about Project X in general right here on this special page on our blog.

And while the promotion is running, you can also get a free 5 page guide and behind the scenes PDF explanation with every link imaginable for free (just click below, link opens in a new window).

It’s an exciting project, and we will keep you posted of any milestones, including the ‘last boarding call’.

Nearly time for the hammer to hit anvil, in the meantime I leave you with a few random Project X ‘sword porn’ glamor shots, new pics and blasts from the past..

BLASTS FROM THE PAST – PROJECT X GALLERY

Remember, this project has been delayed over 6 months due to the current Pandemic and may take slightly longer to complete due to unforseen circumstances. But as things stand right now, the forge is fired up and ready to go!

Don’t miss out and keep checking back here for updates.

Originally planned for release in February 2020 – the pandemic has pushed the date back 6 months. But we are finally ready – a date has been set, and Project X Japanese will start a new batch in..

At 7:00AM US Eastern Standard Time, Project X Japanese opens for the first and the last time in 2020.

While you wait, we recommend two things.

Firstly, take a look at the Project X Japanese explanation pages right here on this blog. There are many great high resolution pictures of the blades, available fittings and pretty everything you need to know.

For example, click on the pic of the ‘Torakami’ style set below for ultra high resolution pic (click the magnify button and there is no detail you CANNOT see clearly – click the ‘back’ button when you are done as its actually opened in a new page).

But the second step is perhaps one of the most important –

P.S. Remember, you cannot place your order yet. We are only making 20 swords, and available pre-order slots fill up faster than – well, something that fills up really fast (sorry, I am terrible at examples sometimes).

We will let you know with a series of ‘progress bars’ that show how far along we are before the batch is filled up. So it will start off like this,

From the feedback I am getting, in the first few hours, could end up looking like this:

And when you see this one..

You might just have left it too late..

P.P.S. New selection of Elite Mother of Pearl Saya in our optional extras section (though please note, these are almost exclusively for Katana only – check the description here for more info

P.P.P.S. I really can’t stress how much of a good idea it is to sign up to the Project X newsletter. Seriously, trust me on this one: SIGN UP HERE

Pushed back since February, with delay after delay pushing it back, the time is drawing near. A date has been set. But this is not the place to find out more.

NOW is the time to sign up to the exclusive Project X newsletter before 7:30PM Eastern Time.

If you like these swords, you seriously will not want to miss this critical update..
