New Year, New Blades!

Happy New Year Sword fans!

What better way is there to kick off a new year than with some brand spanking new blades? I don’t know of a better way, so here’s 3 cool new blades from Ryujin Swords to start the new year off with!

SUPER COOL

Black Back Mounted Katana

The fullered 1045 carbon steel blade is the clean lined and well tempered centerpiece of this sword, but it is the complete package with faux leather wrapped black on black hit, tsuba and unique patterned leather wrapped wood core saya (scabbard) with a back wearable strap for when the going gets tough..

A total bargain at just $129.99, but on sale right now for a measly $84.99..

PROJECT PIECE

Black Shirasaya Blade

With the economy more or less gone to the dogs, it makes sense that if you want a fancy sword but don’t have several hundred dollars to have someone else make it for you, you could save a small fortune by doing it yourself. This simple but sturdy 1045 carbon steel blade housed in Black Shirasaya fittings could be just the ticket as the foundation of your own sword project – or you could just leave it as is as a cool display piece, affordable blade to practice sharpening and polishing on – the possibilities are endless when it is priced at just $99.99 $69.99..

TOTAL BARGAIN

Black Crane Tanto

The blade is perfectly tempered length of hard wearing 65mn spring steel. The hilt, simple black on black – the saya, form fitting and weather resistant ABS with a highly detailed UV print of Cranes and Cherry Blossoms. But the price at just $74.99 for a spring steel blade like this, a bargain – and at our current sale price of $49.99, a TOTAL Bargain!

Check out all these and more in the HOT SPECIALS of our site today.

More blade and hot deals coming soon, but these are definitely the least expensive bargains to start off the new year with our best foot forward.

Holiday Schedule for 2023-2024

From the crazy sales events of last month to the Christmas rush – the holidays are upon us faster than I had personally anticipated and it’s nearly time to take some much needed time to recharge and prepare for the year ahead..

So here it is, our official holiday schedule for 2023-2034:

As it says on the box, we will close our office from this Friday the 22nd until Wednesday the 3rd of January – and during this time we will not be monitoring emails and shipping will not commence on orders placed during this period until early January.

So in the meantime, thanks to all of our customers who supported us in 2023 and we look forward to servicing you again next year!

Happy Holidays All,

The Mega Sale is Over – here is what bargains remain..

Well, the largest sale in SBG history is finally over. As we stated in teh last post, the number of people who took advantage of the crazy discounts on offer over the Black Friday/CyberMonday period was quite overwhelming and has caused a bit of a shipping backlog that probably won’t be cleared until around this time next week..

In the meantime though, for those of you who missed out we still have a few deals that are continuing from the November Mega-sale.

Here are the brands still on special in December:

The clearout and closeout sale from November continues into December with a 40% discount on the last models from the original series – including the stunning solid brass fitting and wire wrapped 5160 Spring Steel Excalibur sword – still a TOTAL bargain at just $274.99:

You will also find a decent selection of Roman Gladii, daggers and a few other items – but stock is running out fast so don’t less this closeout sale pass you by..

As per a request from the forges to continue with our Forge Direct and Project X line – those three lines (Forge Direct Chinese, Forge Direct Japanese and Project X Katana) are STILL available with a discount from 25-30% – though how much longer we can keep it open depends on how well they keep selling.

If people keep buying at this price point, we can keep the discount – but if it drops off, that is when the sale price will end or be adjusted down.

In the meantime, we will post here if and when we can secure any additional Holiday Season specials – but for now, if you are in the market for massively discounted last chance swords and high end Asian blades – grab these deals before they too are gone for good…

The Pinnacle of the November Specials May Be Over But..

It really comes as no surprise that the last four days, from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, saw some pretty insane sales volume.. Many sword buyers had been pent up to buy a sword, but only if the price was right – and in the last few days – it had never been sooo right…

So the bargains were snapped up..

And so while the absolute pinnacle of the November Specials May Be Over, the base line deals saving from 10-40% off 10 major brands still have a few days left in them..

In the meantime, because the sales volume was so understandably high, please allow us a little extra time to process shipments and answer email inquiries as we are slightly overwhelmed and need some extra time to process all the bargains that you all just snapped up. 😉

So please be patient with us, we will do our best – and for everyone else, check out the HOT SPECIALS page for the last of this years best deals..
