It has been several months since we have had them available, but pretty much the full range of Cold Steel Swords have just been restocked at SBG and with limited quantities and Christmas just around the corner, there has never been a better time to get one..
From Katana to English Backswords, Cinqueda to Tactical Machetes under $50, they have something for everyone at pretty much every price point, including one of my favorites – the Italian Long Sword!
The Wind and Thunder Katana and Wakizashi are two of their most powerful cutting blades. Designed for the Dojo and with heavier and thicker blades than any other Hanwei Katana, these T10 tool steel swords are some of the best made cutters around – and normally priced between $650 to $990 for the Katana and $499 to $700 for the matching Wakizashi.
But from now until the 18th of December, just in time for Christmas, you can get them at BELOW WHOLESALE prices – just $529.99 for the Katana and $379.99 for the Wakizashi. That means you can get the Daisho set of two swords for LESS than the retail price of the Katana by itself..!
An ideal gift to take a collector to the next level of quality – these swords have it all, imported Japanese cotton ito wraps, Iron raiden god of thunder themed fittings and of course, a stunning differentially hardened T10 tool steel blade with real suguha hamon.
Check them out here in the Hot Specials Section of the Store
Just added in time for Christmas – we have taken the same high quality differentially hardened T10 tool steel blade with bo-hi (fuller/blood groove) this line is famous for, added a Miyamoto Musashi style solid iron tsuba and given you the choice of 8 tsuka ito colors and 5 saya options to create your own design – saving you $50 off the usual price!
Assembled and shipped out within a week, it is the last guaranteed opportunity to get these custom swords before Christmas, so why not get it for $199.99 instead of $249.99?
EXCLUSIVELY available as a Christmas Special and scheduled to be discontinued after 7 days, get these while you can..
We are proud to release a bit of a ‘surprise’ item for fans of Project X Chinese – the limited edition Wind Steel Jian, a stunning 1095 carbon steel with a rare and very hard to reproduce ‘Wind Steel/Feather Steel’ shuangxue (hamon)..

This sword has been produced in conjunction with Ronin Katana and, apart from this blades amazing cutting power, durability and stunning blade and fittings – is not a pre-order item, it is available for immediate delivery, and there are only 4 pieces available – making it a true limited edition release for Chinese sword enthusiasts..
While the name ‘feather steel’ may make it seem like a lightweight, nothing could be further from the truth..
Like I said, only 4 are available and it is a limited edition, one off piece – so don’t miss out!
A few days ago we added the comprehensive review and test cutting results of two Forge Direct Custom Katana I had made for myself a few months ago. Check it out here if you have not seen it already.
Anyway, these swords were not just for the purpose of sharing the nitty gritty on the Forge Direct Custom Katana, but they were also prototypes to see if we could expand the options available on this line. Such as adding bo-hi, new hamon types and new fittings..
These two swords built upon the already tried and tested foundations, and now ALL the various customizations are available for you to pick and choose from.
And the best part? The price stays the same – at least for the time being.. (How long we can hold it at this price remains to be seen however. Our margins are as tight as they can go on these swords and even the smallest price increase at the forge will mean we will need to also increase our prices).
