Bushido Swords

October 30, 2009

Bushido Swords come to you from Masahiro, which is one of several lines by Master Cutlery. We are proud to offer a little something from each of these brands carried by the Master, but today we will simply focus on the stunning swords featured in the Bushido series.

These swords are stylish and come in several different styles along with a varying price range (from around $90 to $270). They remain in the same realm of quality as much higher priced samurai swords, but are not so hard on the pocket.

Fully functional and made to perfection, these are great for cutting or practicing swordmanship. Every katana in our Bushido series has a differentially tempered high carbon steel blade that is razor sharp and full tang. These blades are hand forged and absolutely beautiful pieces of work! You will not be disappointed when you lay your hands on one of these!

We currently have four gorgeous available. Each are hand forged by the finest craftsmen and fully functional. Wear any of these with pride.

Celtic Sword - This sword brings its wielder back to the days of pre-Christian Ireland, conjuring up images of such hearoes as Cuchullain or Conn of the Hundred Battles. It features a massive 27.5” leaf shaped hand forged blade, Anthropomorphic handle with steel guard and pommel, and comes with a leather sheath.

Medieval Falchion - The Falchion can be found amongst the 11th through 16th centuries. It is essentially a one-handed, single edged sword coming from Europe but with a design similar to the Persian scimitar and Chinese Doa. This fearsome weapon features a beautifully wrapped Macassar Ebony handle, solid steel crossguard, and will literally take your breath away when you first lay your hands on it.

Rhinelander Sword - With dashing S-curved guard, this sword of German descent was prominent in Europe around the 15th century. Featuring a great balance and 45” overall length, you can effectively swing this sword with great power. Comes with a leather scabbard.

Sword of Nobility – This Sword would be welcomed to any Knight’s collection. It was inspired by the legendary crusades of the middle ages from the late 13th to 14th centuries, hence the flared cross guard which resembles a crucifix. It can be easily wielded with a single hand. Scabbard Included.

Molotoch the Slayer Sword

September 16, 2009

In the beginning of things in ages past, the Ancient Ones were the masters of flesh, fire, and steel, thus the creation of the Swords of the Ancients. Each sword was forged with secret alloys and held special powers to fight the endless battles between good and evil.

Kit Rae’s Molotoch the Slayer Sword is the eighth sword of the Swords of the Ancients collection and is by far the most deadly. It gives its wielder boundless skill and speed along with a focused rage to strike down his enemy. With Vasthar, the desert spider, on the guards and death heads on the hilt, along with a carrion bird head (eaters of the dead)shape at the pommel, if the power of this masterfully created sword doesn’t do the trick, its deathlike appearance may haunt your assailant to his end.

With a strikingly beautiful yet frightening appearance, this sword designed by Kit Rae makes a unique gift for any fantasy collector – or another addition to your personal collection!

Measurements:
Overall Length: 45 ¼”
Blade Length: 33 ¼”

Nodachi by Cold Steel

September 8, 2009

Of the Warrior Series by Cold Steel, the Nodachi is made of exceptional quality at an economical price! Many collectors requested something like their Imperial Series at a lesser cost. This is a step down in price but not necessarily in quality! The major difference between weapons of the Warrior and Imperial Series is the fact that the mirror polishing has been omitted. The same steel, heat treatment, and sharpness are used for both.

This is a strong and good looking weapon for your collection made by one of our favorite manufacturers.

Nodachi Facts:

The Nodachi is a two-handed Asian weapon which was carried for foot soldiers for use during close combat. During combat the sword was generally carried when approaching the enemy with two hands while the blade was facing outward toward them. They were relatively uncommon due to their difficulty to forge and great strength requirements.

This sword was carried by Sasaki Kojiro who was deadly with this weapon. You may remember his name for his famous duel with Musashi Miyamoto.

The school of Kage-ryū is one of the few who trains in the use of this weapon.

Show off your strength with one of these rare martial art gems.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince… and Wands!

July 16, 2009

Now you can gear up for most recent Harry Potter movie by Warner Bros., Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - now playing!

So grab your wizarding wands and locate Platform 9 ¾ to jump on the Hogwart’s Express to travel to the land of the world’s most famous wizard - Harry Potter! You don’t have a wand? Well, you have come to the right place!

Now available at the Heavenly Swords Harry Potter Shoppe, you will find seven new wands – one for each of your favorite characters from the Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling!

Although I personally recommend ordering all of them at once so your collection is instantly complete, I realize that for some of us this isn’t feasible. So, please allow me to help you decide which wand you will begin casting your powerful magic with…

Do you have a sweet, loveable, and feminine side? Then Cho Chang’s Wand might be for you! Purchased from Ollivander, this wand can do a whole lot of magic from Defence to Charms.

Do your friends find you to be annoying because you are a “know-it-all” who always expresses your opinion (yet, when they need help they always come to you first)? Then Hermione Granger’s Wand might suit your style. This wand was confiscated by Snatchers, so the one you will be receiving is not the original.

Is the finger pointed at you when anything goes wrong because of circumstances beyond your control, even though it isn’t your fault? Sirius Black’s Wand will surely fit in your hand so you can cast nonverbal spells!

Perhaps you have minimal talent but aren’t the best at anything. You might have an extreme fear of spiders and suffer from an inferiority complex. If this is the case, then there is none other for you besides Ron Weasley’s Wand. Simply hold it and chant, “Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!”

If extreme paranoia makes up a portion of your personality, you probably fit in well in the category with Mad-Eye Moody (despite the fact that you may both of your eyes still). You can fight against the Dark Arts with Mad-Eye Moody’s Wand.

Are you a leader, brilliant, and an excellent companion and father-type figure? Do you think you can face Lord Voldemort without the tiniest bit of fear? If so, you must get your hands on Professor Dumbledore’s Wand!

Maybe you aren’t any of the above, but instead, the most evil, grueling, hideous creature in existence and you want nothing out of life but full power over all the Wizarding and Muggle worlds alike. If this sounds like you then you need Lord Voldemort’s Wand. I must warn you; however, that you will not win and will face your number one fear in due time!

We also have Harry Potter’s Wand for the invincible hero in you. Be the star of the show with his wand, the Harry Potter – Gryffindor Sword, or the highly recommended Harry Potter – Gordic Gryffindor Sword!

Now you can cast spells rigtht along with Harry and his gang while sitting in the theater (however, I don’t think you are allowed to light them up during the show - that may be bending the rules a little)!
