Just a super quick post here – we have a couple of S&D swords with minor issues for one of the most popular sword models in the Forge Direct Chinese selection – the Red Ebony Jian..<\/p>\n

Red Ebony Jian<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the swords has a light surface patina developing on a small patch of the blade – otherwise is in as new and unused condition and could fairly easily be polished out if you know what you are doing (click the images to enlarge)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And the other one has a hairline split in the saya caused by exposure to humidity and a small area that is slightly scuffed as pictured below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Both swords have become casualties of the warmer weather it would seem – but our bad luck is your chance to save a small fortune (plus no waiting time!)..<\/p>\n

Price on the first sword with the minor Patina\/pitted area<\/a> is down from $879.99 to just $559.99 (with free shipping) – saving of three hundred and twenty bucks for a few black spots..<\/p>\n

And the one with the split scabbard and tiny scuffed area<\/a> – $499.99 – a saving of $380..<\/p>\n

In all honesty, the issues should only really take $50 to $100 off the value, but Forge Direct is no ordinary sword line – and so they are being sacrificed and will be sold on a first come first served basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
