But when they come back from the long holiday, the Master Smiths come back re-energized, the weather is perfect for sword making &#8211; AND it&#8217;s during this time we collate as many orders for them as possible by negotiating and offering steep discounts (typically around 25%!) on each and every sword in Forge Direct Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with the new Baojian forge now on board, even MORE swords will be joining the line up.
