SBG Sword Store Blog

Every year since it started, the Master Smiths at Forge Direct have generously offered a big discount on their products over the Chinese New Year to ensure they are busy when they get back from the holidays (which is often the time when they do their BEST work).

This year is no exception – and so we are delighted to be able to pass on those discounts and am giving you all a whopping 25% off the entire range of Forge Direct Chinese – a large selection of exotic, unique and beautiful ancient Chinese sword styles spanning a period of over 2500 years of history.

From high end Feathersteel and Spinsteel blades to more affordable Jian, spears and daggers – you can pick them all up for the very best price the forge and us can muster..

Have a look and see for yourself what is on offer – but don’t snooze on this one, the deal ends midnight EST 12th February 2019..

FORGE DIRECT CHINESE – 25% OFF SPECIAL SALE

To make room for newer, more ornate (and more expensive) Fantasy sword models, Darksword Armory have decided to clear some of their older classic models and are discontinuing the Carpathian, the Nomad and the Two Handed Viking Sword..

All three swords are being liquidated at $75 off PLUS exclusive to SBG each one comes with free shipping and a free sharpening service (Darksword blades are usually unsharpened by default).

Amazing value – grab them while you can because once they are gone, these models are gone for good..

All this and more in the:

HOT SPECIALS SECTION

Made as a collaboration between Master Blade Smith Michael Ye and US based artisan Jeffrey R. Robinson, the Seraph Aegis from the Legendary Swords project is truly one of the finest swords we have ever had the pleasure of making available to discerning sword collectors.

Rather than repeat myself – you can see more pics and read more about the project here at the Legendary Swords blog – otherwise, if you have been waiting for this one, it is priced to sell at the absolute lowest price we can make it available for until the 31st of January or until sold out.

Even though we do not stock our swords at a big central location, we always do our best to ensure that the items we offer from our major sword suppliers have clearly marked and up to date stock statuses.

Well, we just finished another ‘stock-take’ and are really pleased to see some rarely available swords for sale by Cas Iberia and Hanwei – some of which have literally not been seen in many a year – and yet are still available at 2010 prices..!

So many Bastards..

During our stocktake we found that our distributor for Hanwei – Cas Iberia – had snuck in some true classics from their medieval lines – including three popular bastards (swords that is) that are a must have for any serious medieval sword enthusiast.

Check them all out in the Hanwei Medieval Sword Section HERE

For the Quick..

If you are quick, the usually almost always backordered fully functional Lord of the Rings Replica of the Ranger Sword is currently in stock at Darksword – but the way they sell, it may only be there for another day or two.

Hope you all had a great time over the holiday period – I spent the time almost entirely ‘unplugged’ from the internet and with family members that are usually several thousand miles away and made many great memories both for them and for myself..

Of course, the only disadvantage to taking time off like this is that there is a small mountain of work that has piled up while I was away, and so it’s time to roll up sleeves and get everything back on track before we can kick the year off in earnest..

January should actually be a very interesting month, as several new and exciting products – mostly to do with our Legendary Swords Project – are about to come to fruition.

But first things first, there is a rather large load of emails and customer service related stuff that needs my immediate attention – so if you did email me directly over the holiday period or had a customer service issue escalated to me personally over the period that we were officially closed, please bear with me for a day or two while I go through them all and ensure everything is properly addressed (if you ever have emailed me personally before, you will know my replies are always very detailed and reflect my personal commitment to the best possible customer service – but of course this takes time, and I will be working backwards from the oldest contact to the most recent and continue to follow up until each inquiry is resolved to our customers satisfaction).

As such, if you are waiting for a reply from me, please be patient – I promise you I will do my best to get back to you as fast as humanly possible – and then, once up to date, stay tuned. As I said, 2019 is going to start off with some very interesting releases..!

Will update you all again shortly – if you held off emailing me or feel that something slipped through the cracks during the holiday period (our skeleton staff actually kept things running fairly smoothly while we were officially ‘closed’) feel free to contact me here

Thanks all!
Paul
