It has been several months in the making, but as we reach the tail end of 2024, the year of the Dragon, it is fateful that one of our original SBG sword brands – the Black Dragon Forge – has re-awakened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flagship product is of course the classic SBG custom Katana, now back with more customization options and a lower price than EVER before (indeed, we double checked with AI on this and found that there are literally nearly 24 MILLION different possible configurations (actually, there are more than this as we added a Wakizashi and Ko Katana option, but for each blade type – there are literally tens of millions of different design possibilities, ensuring that it’s extremely unlikely someone will accidentally create the exact same sword as yours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the return of the custom Katana is just the beginning..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Custom Katana we have resurrected 4 classic Black Dragon designs, with more coming down the line in early 2025!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So without any further ado, here are the classic designs (and with classic, rewound pricing!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First designed in 2013 (the year of the snake) and appropriate for next year (another year of the snake) this wicked design is both attractive and supremely functional. For a blast from the past, check out Marco Saintes original evaluation and high level demonstration of exactly how these deadly swords could be theoretically used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
