Introduction<\/strong>
The sword market is facing a seismic shift. With new tariffs on Chinese imports set to take effect on May 2, prices are expected to skyrocket by 30-54% on all incoming shipments. If you\u2019ve ever considered expanding your collection or stocking up, this is your last chance to do so before the price surge.
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Happening?<\/strong>
The U.S. government has imposed new tariffs on Chinese imports, with rates reaching 54% on swords and all other imported items. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that all swords arriving after May 2 will be subject to these increased costs, leading to inevitable price hikes. Additionally, any ‘direct from the forge’ orders\u2014including Project X<\/a>, Black Dragon Forge<\/a>, and Swordier<\/a>\u2014will face delays and additional tariff charges for U.S. customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Why Act Now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Prices are locked at 2024 rates until May 2\u2014after that, expect significant increases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stock is limited\u2014once current inventory is gone, restocking will come at a much higher cost.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Tariff-related delays\u2014ordering now ensures faster delivery before the new regulations take effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Final Call: Go Big or Go Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This isn\u2019t just another price adjustment\u2014it\u2019s a fundamental shift in the sword market. Whether you\u2019re a collector, a practitioner, or a reseller, now is the time to secure your swords before the tariffs take effect. Once May 2 arrives, the value of swords will go through the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t wait\u2014shop now and lock in 2024 prices while you still can.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
