It’s been a rough year for shipping swords around the world – it all started in march and hit again early this month, forcing us to temporarily suspend all non-North American (US and Canada) shipments..

The situation is still a fluid one, and it appears that some of our affiliated warehouses, suppliers and shippers have been effected more than others..

Right now there are FOUR brands that can be shipped to the following destinations:

  • Argentina
  • Australia (excluding Victoria, please provide proof of AFIAK membership)
  • Brazil (expect high duties and tariffs)
  • Canada (many other brands can be shipped to Canada not listed here as they are shipped overland)
  • Costa Rica
  • Germany (may require extensive paperwork and customs delays)
  • New Zealand
  • Philippines
  • Poland
  • South Africa
  • Thailand
  • United Kingdom (may require extensive paperwork and customs delays)

And here are the brands currently available:

FORGE DIRECT – Japanese and Chinese Swords, FREE Worldwide Shipping

RYUJIN SWORDS – Katana, Custom Katana and budget Chinese Swords

BLADE CULTURE INTERNATIONAL – Filipino swords (currently)

SCORPION SWORDS – Tactical and Historical swords made in the USA

You can read more and see some recommended buys here on the International Sword Sales Page

As the international shipping situation keeps changing, we strongly recommend you buy what you can when you can as we have no idea if things will improve or get worse – but based on what we have been seeing the last few years, the situation is likely to get worse before it gets better..

In the meantime, we will continue to research new shipping options to break the impasse and ensure that our sword loving brothers and sisters across the world are not left out in the cold..

Hark the Heralds: Doomsday Sword # 02 Has Struck..

The second sword in the Doomsday Sword Series designed by official SBG Sword Tester Jason Woodard and hand made in the USA by Chris Palmer from Scorpion Swords has just been revealed.. And she, the Dark Ninjato, is a beauty..

With it’s distinct ‘American Tanto’ tip, the Dark Ninjato is primarily a thrusting sword but can also be used for snap cuts, slicing, cutting and hacking pretty much anything that gets in it’s way..

Here’s some ‘behind the scenes’ of how it was made

Jason Woodard is a prolific sword designer. In his spare time he often spends hours drawing all manner of swords on 1:1 scale, and has imagined literally hundreds of unique and cool looking swords that only exist on paper…

The initial design concept

But as we have seen many times before, while Jason may be a great sword designer, Chris Palmer at Scorpion Swords takes those designs and makes them a reality..

The process begins with a bar of 1095 carbon steel which is ground and cut to shape before it is tempered and hardened to give it the durability Scorpion Swords have become famous for.

Tempered and ready for the final grind
Now THAT is what you call full tang..
10 Pins and a generous layer of epoxy effectively makes it a one piece construction
Apocalypse or not, there ain’t no way this thing is going to come apart..

The end result? An incredibly tough sword that is almost unbreakable – all hand made in the USA – for under $300..

Blued (blackened) blade with the classic American Tanto Tip

P.S. With Christmas right around the corner, you need to get your order in now and even then it not 100% guaranteed to be completed in time. But we will do our best – but wait even a few days more and you won’t see it until 2020 hits..

Forge Direct – the Relaunch and Mega Sale!

Several months ago, changes at the forges in China forced us to withdraw our line of Forge Direct swords to retool and regroup.

And so, after several months on hiatus, we are delighted to bring back Forge Direct with a vengeance – and a mega sale to go along with it!

Yes, that is right – the forge has offered us a huge discount to accumulate some orders over the Chinese New Year period ready for them to get to work on from the 23rd of February when they resume work (and the best part is, not only is it one of the best seasons for sword forging in China, but the master smiths are fully refreshed from their break and it is this time of year that they do some of their BEST work!).

But it gets even better, because – like with Scorpion Swords – a new line of Asian Fantasy style swords has just been released under the Legendary Swords banner!

Here is one of my favorites, and also one of the most affordable – the Dragon Tongue, a folded and hand forged sturdy blade with fantastical Dragon themed hilt – normally $549.99 but just $412.49 with FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING!

So what are you waiting for?

Check out the full forge direct relaunch here!

As a follow up to my previous post, while every pre-order for the limited edition Furia Sword of the Apocalypse was spoken for and John Lundemo is pulling out all the stops to get them made over the coming months – for those who missed out on the ultimate zombie slaying sword or who simply are not in a position to be able to afford the relatively high price point, you might be interested in our next limited edition project..

It is not yet available to order – and the full review and backstory not yet completed – but here is a sneak preview of the sub $300 Tactical Ko Katana by Chris Palmer from Scorpion Swords tested to the max by Jason Woodard..

The tests on the steel pole and concrete block show just how tough this blade really is..

Stay tuned for the full review and opportunity to get one for yourself to stash away in the ‘in case of zombies, break glass’ case..
