Project X and Forge Direct

Behind the scenes there has been a flurry of activity regarding Project X – and just today two swords have been released for pre-order.

The first is a true Project X classic – the Jian of Marquis Yi!

This sword has been immensely popular since its release in 2013, and once look at the stunning blade and fittings is all it takes to realize that this is one special piece.

This will be the first and final time it will be offered in 2017 (this is only the third run of this sword since 2013) and it’s availability depends on how many pre-orders come in. Based on the times it has been offered previously, we expect to close off taking new orders mid April, but it may be even sooner.. We will do our best to keep you posted here but if it ends suddenly and you miss out, please accept our apologies – we really do need to limit the number of swords we offer on this design as the very second the forge says ‘enough’ we need to stop orders and send it back to the archive..

In other Forge Direct News – we also just updated our options for the stunning Muramasa Laminated Katana.

Now with full customization options, if you don’t like the base design – you can now make it your own. And the best price, while we had to raise the price $99 for the time being it is still on sale at the original price of $700, meaning the world of customization we opened up on it are completely free of charge..!

And finally, a sneak preview of some new Forge Direct Chinese swords coming down the line..

7 New Jian are being prepared to join the current rotation and some older models will be shuffling off the line into the archives to make room. So stay tuned for this – Spring is when the forges do their best work – and next month the new models will kick off with a limited time promotional sale.

Lots more going on behind the scenes so I need to get back to it and will update you all again VERY soon.

Ryujin Sale Ending, Scorpion Swords Tactical Katana available again (for a limited time)

Just a quick heads up that the special 10% discount on Ryujin Swords is about to end midnight Sunday the 26th of March as the certificates are arriving on Friday and there will be only the slightest delay in shipping now, so it is a great time to take advantage of this special discounted deal..

The coupon code to use is: RYUJIN10

Additionally, the first dozen Scorpion Swords Tactical Katana have gone out this week. As such, we can finally take another dozen orders or so before we will need to close off new orders for a few weeks again to ensure we don’t bite off more than Chris can actually make in a reasonable time frame and to his very high quality standards..

LOTS more being planned over the next couple of weeks which will make up for the lack of posts in the middle of the month. So talk to you all again soon!

Ryujin Certificate Hiccup (our mistake is your chance to save)..

While we have plenty of blades and components for the Ryujin Custom Katana series, the certificates included with each sword have temporarily run dry – causing a bit of a bottleneck situation where we cannot actually ship anything (as Ryujin is responsible for every sword that they put their name on – and each certificate has a unique code)..

So rather than stop taking orders entirely, you can get a 10% discount if you are willing to wait around 7-10 days for the new certificates to come in..

To get the discount, simply enter the coupon code RYUJIN10 (or click the link to automatically add it to your shopping cart) and it will be applied to any and all Ryujin Custom Swords in your order.

So while there will be a delay, don’t hold off on this one yourself if you want to pick up a genuine Ryujin Custom Katana from SBG at the best possible price. This offer may be pulled at any time if the certificates come in early and is only valid when the coupon is used at the time of purchase (we cannot refund payments that miss this prominent announcement)..

From now until the 12th of March, and only while stocks last – you can pick up two top quality Katana for $70 off our everyday, already heavily discounted prices…

The first sword is the crazy sharp, XL blade profile Katana by Paul Chen and the Hanwei Forge with Musashi Style Iron Tsuba and leather ito handle wrap..

The blade is differentially hardened 1566 Carbon Steel with an especially steep blade profile, allowing it to cut tatami mats, bamboo and water filled bottles like a hot knife through butter..

The Unique Blade Profile of the XL blade..

The other sword with a $70 discount (and FREE SHIPPING to boot) is the ultra durable 5160 Spring Steel Summer Lotus Katana by Dragon King..

With a level of attention to details that exceeds any other production sword on the market, this sword really is the complete package.

So if you love Katana and love a special offer, simply choose what type of blade you prefer. If you like crazy sharp blades – go the Musashi. If you prefer extreme durability (still with a VERY keen edge), then the Summer Lotus is for you! You can’t have it all in the one blade, but you can have one blade that focuses on one of the ends of the spectrum perfectly with this special offer..

Offer Ends March 12th and while stocks last..

Just a quick update to let you all know that we just reached the quota of pre-orders that Chris can comfortably fulfil on the Scorpion Swords Tactical Ko Katana.

As such, no more pre-orders can be placed until existing orders have been fulfilled over the coming 5-7 weeks or so.

So in the meantime, the sword has been moved to the sword archive here and we will be letting everyone know via the store newsletter and here on the blog when they are available to order again.

Looking forward to getting them out to you all!
