As the trade war flickered off\u2014only to roar back to life within 24 hours\u2014a handful of swords from two major brands managed to slip through the gauntlet. Despite the brief tariff suspension at customs, the shipment still faced a much heftier duty than ever before. The silver lining? It wasn\u2019t the dreaded 145% and it did NOT raise the price for customers… Small victories, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks one of the first restocks since the industry was effectively frozen by the April 2nd announcement. While it wasn\u2019t a major shipment, any sword that makes it through is a hard-fought win for collectors and enthusiasts alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In times like these, we welcome every scrap of good news with open arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here they are\u2014three newly restocked swords, fresh from the forge and ready to find their rightful place in your collection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Hanwei Update (Vanishing Blades)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While a few brands have managed to push stock back onto the shelves, Hanwei is seeing the opposite\u2014its swords are disappearing faster than ever. And the worst part? We have no idea when (or even if<\/strong>) some of them will be restocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restocks will be handled on a case-by-case, model-by-model basis, and any future pricing remains uncertain. This means that if you don\u2019t grab these swords now, there\u2019s no telling when your next opportunity will come\u2014if it comes at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few models that are on the brink of selling out (indeed, it is happening so fast now that one item has become sold out as I was typing this out!):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been eyeing one of these blades, now\u2019s the time<\/strong>\u2014before they become relics of a bygone era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
