Batch 43 of the SBG Custom Katana NOW Taking Orders!

Leave a comment

Since the last time we offered the SBG Custom Katana back in October of 2017, there were a lot of changes to the industry that threatened the continuation of the Custom Katana project as we know it.

The biggest issue was a forced shut down of almost ALL the major sword component makers due to pollution concerns – but while this release is somewhat delayed – the good news is that, at least for this current batch, it is business as usual.

Of course, how long it will remain business is usual is unknown – the forge confirmed that they have enough of all the components we have used in the past to make version 3.0 of the SBG Custom Katana – but how many more batches they will be available for, and how long we will be able to resist severe financial pressure to keep the price where it is – is anyone’s guess..

So with this batch, with future batches still somewhat uncertain – we STRONGLY recommend that if you have ever considered getting a SBG Custom Katana in its current configuration – well, NOW IS THE TIME TO LOCK IT IN!

This batch will only be available to order from for the next 2 weeks – with the batch scheduled to close off midnight EST on the 14th of April.

So don’t miss out – Order TODAY and lock in the current pricing and component options whole you still can…

A couple of Limited Edition Deals for those who act fast..

This post we have not one but TWO limited edition deals that all sword enthusiasts should have a good look at.

First off, the Dojo Pro Tanto series by Ronin Katana are back!

This is only a limited restock (the next batch is not due until mid to late Summer 2018) and STILL at the special introductory price of not $125, but just $59.99!

Three models are available, and you can check them out in the hot specials section here.

The second limited offer is for the limited edition Model # 3 Two Handed Sword by Ronin Katana.

This wide bladed Bastard Sword is a replica of the historical Harriet Dean Sword – a 600 year old Italian Sword gifted to Alexandria during a time of relative peace and lost for nearly 72 years before being found again in, of all places, a restaurant in Texas! (click here to read the backstory).

It is basically the same as the standard model 3 – but for $25 more you get the authentic Arabic inscription which was key to identifying it.

The inscription reads: Pious donation of the king al-Mu’ayyad to the arsenal in the frontier city of Alexandria in the year two and ten and eight hundred

Once they are sold out, this limited edition 1075 carbon steel blade with deluxe scabbard will be gone for good.

New Two Handed Medieval Swords from Ronin Just Landed

Following hot on the heels of the extremely popular Crusader Longsword – Ronin have just released 3 new two handed swords with Deluxe scabbard upgrades – and they are looking absolutely gorgeous!

The new models – models 1 to 3 (which supersede the long discontinued first versions of that were given the same model numbers) – are all top quality 1075 carbon steel blades ready to cut straight out of the box.

So let’s take a quick look at them shall we?

Model # 1: $349.99

Model One is a beast of a sword, and even with double fullers running down to the center of percussion, this 3lb 9oz Longsword is not for the faint of heart. Visually stunning, it is complimented and counter balanced by a thick fish tail pommel.

Model #2: $324.99

Model Two is perhaps the most traditional of the lot – weighing in at 2lbs 13oz – and with a clean central fuller also running to the CoP.

Model #3: $424.99

This two hander is a whole lot of steel for your money. Indeed, the sheer bulk of the extra wide (3.2″ a the base) blade is the main reason for its higher price, and if you like super sturdy swords with considerable blade presence, this two hander is for YOU!

Check all the currently available models here

But don’t be too slow to pull the trigger on these, stocks are limited and understandably, they are very popular – so may sell out sooner than you might expect..

A few more Ryujin customization options..

Just a few additional customization options for the full custom versions of the Ryujin series..

First off, a new saya – a blueish ‘forest green’ that is subtle enough to work with the green or blue tsuka ito handle colors, brown black or even white (though probably not purple or red, though to each his own – that is the BEAUTY of the custom katana concept, right?).

And then a couple more choices for tsuba, both gold gilded – the first perhaps the most traditional – a crane and a cherry blossom tree (what could be more Japanese really)..

And at the opposite end of the spectrum, for those who prefer a bolder, brasher center piece of their sword – a Bamboo Tiger and Samurai warrior themed tsuba!

You can find these have all been added to the available options on the original Custom Katana no-hi, Custom Katana with bo-hi and Elite Choji Hamon versions of the Ryujin custom Katana, and as usual the price remains the same..!

Check them out, and our current hot Ryujin limited edition sword specials in the Ryujin section of our store here.
