We have a tried a LOT of unique traditional Chinese sword designs over the years. But it would seem that as the industry has slowed down and lost momentum for high end Chinese swords (and honestly, who can blame them, some of the entry level stuff is pretty darned good!) – the time has come to more or less settle on the designs that will define the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So quietly over the last few weeks and months, we have been re-organizing Forge Direct Chinese – bringing back two new blades, and getting rid of almost all the others until we have the best of the best, those blades that customers send us in glowing reviews time after time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Swords’ such as the ‘Boar Killing Spear’ (technically a short hafted blade with extra long handle):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BOAR KILLING SPEAR IS BACK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then at the Elite end, the complex Windsteel laminated folded blade and stunning fittings of the Monkey King sword (and with this one, if you need to ask how much it is, then you can’t afford it):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RETURN OF THE MONKEY KING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then, one final hurrah on two swords before they go before the end of the month – the NEW Four Beasts Jian and the Dragon Tiger Jian. Maybe it was the economy, maybe people just didn’t like them – but they are on crazy discount pricing over on the HOT SPECIALS section until the end of the month, after which they join the sword graveyard in the sky..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if that was not enough, at the end of the month we are also discontinuing our Project X Elite high polish Choji Katana and it will be sold off at Forge Direct levels until the end of the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s pretty crazy how the sword industry often doesn’t actually buy what it says it really wants – but either way, they aren’t many of these in the world so if you want a truly unique blade before its too late in a few days time, you had better put that custom order together quick quick..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi Polish Katana<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Hi Polish Wakizashi<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And FINALLY (told you there was a lot of Forge Direct and Project X news going on right now) – we are proud to announce what might well be the last addition to the Forge Direct family.. The Dragon Dao Mk II!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the limited edition of 20pcs (that ran for around $1800 or so) – the simplified but hardly ‘stripped back’ version of the Dragon Dao is available all year long, looks as mean as hell and one cut and you will be hooked for life.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check it out and the entire brand new and we hope more permanent, stable line up over at Forge Direct today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
