Arm Bracer Contest

nospam@example.com (By The Sword) — 2010-03-13T16:07:56Z

Just a quick note to let everyone know what's going on with the arm bracer contest.

We knew there were a lot of talented people out there but we did not anticipate the overwhelming number of entries! As a result our judges are having a really tough time deciding on the winner. We have narrowed the entries down to a few and hope to announce the winner sometime next week. We would also like to take this time to thank everyone who sent in their arm bracer designs.

Sincerely,

By The Sword, Inc.

New Practical Special Katana SH2376

nospam@example.com (By The Sword) — 2009-09-19T19:53:03Z

The Practical Special Katana is a subtly modified version of the Practical Katana, made in response to requests for a quicker sword at the same economy price. The blade dimensions have been changed only slightly and the tsuba cutouts have been enlarged, and though this has resulted in a weight loss of only 3 oz, the difference in handling is very noticeable. The Practical will remain the standard for hard, regular cutting, but for those needing a faster draw, multiple cut katana at an economy price, the Special is the answer.
