Ok, time for a bit of a format change as the old blog (which I have archived here was getting, shall we say a little LONG..!

Plus, it was about time to add some additional functionality - so at least for the time being this new format will have to do! (I'll be tweaking it as necessary, but this will do for a start).

Anyway, lots of news to report - for a start we have a couple of cool specials going right now on two of Hanwei's hottest Katana just in time for Christmas - both the Yasukuni Colonels Gunto and the incredible Bamboo Mat Katana (pictured below).


But there are also a doings transpiring with the imminent lauch of batch 18 of our supremely popular SBG Custom Katana of which I have recently ressurected its dedicated blog right here (looks like I might be getting addicted to blogging as well as swords doesn't it!?).

Anyway, if you are interested in some up to date information on this batch (as well as a sneak preview of some new limited edition swords being made by the forge) you might want to mosey on over there.

Speaking of sneak previews, stay tuned for a very special sneak preview of some new products that will be in the store towards the end of December by Ronin Katana (well, why not - here's an advance pic just to whet your appetite a little...

More on this (and MUCH more from Ronin) in another post..!

In other sword store news, I should mention that while many people have been asking - NO, Cheness Cutlery will NOT be having a pre-Christmas sale as their inventory is running too low and the restock has been delayed and will likely arrive only a week or so before Christmas anyway.. I should also mention that their warehouse will be taking a week off normal opearations after thanksgiving, so while orders can be placed during this time they will not be shipped until they resume normal operations.

Anwyay, I'll be posting here again soon but in the meantime welcome to the new format, lets see how it goes!

All the best,
