When looking through some of our new products that recently came in, I started singing to myself “Run Through the Jungle…”

Although it may be a bit unwise to run through unknown territory, it might be a little less risky to have some sharp steel on your person while doing such a thing… We have several products that would compliment such a trudge, if ever faced with the daunting task of survival amidst the depths of the jungle.  Please allow me to share.

• Amazon Antiqued Jungle Machete 28 ¼” – Everyone needs a machete in the jungle.  Not only is it good for wading off predators but also for clearing paths to walk through.  This machete you can wear with a back strap.
• HUGE Full Tang Carbon Steel Kukri Machete 18” – With a dense, full tang blade, this heavy piece of steel will certainly be one of your most prized possessions amidst the thistle and weed in the jungle labyrinth.
• Extra Sturdy Jungle King Hunting Knife w/ Sheath 12” – Hunting with a machete isn’t always ideal… should you need to skin a wild boar for dinner, a hunting knife would be a much better option.
• Stainless Steel Survival Knife 10 ½” – I wouldn’t recommend anyone step foot into the wilderness without a survival knife.  This one comes with a multi-function blade, first aid kit, compass, sling shot, and a sheath so you don’t gouge a hole in your leg when you trip over the brush.

“Harry Potter, the boy who lived… come to die.” – Lord Voldemort, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Trailer

These chilling words coming from the mouth of Harry Potter’s arch nemesis, Voldemort, open up the action packed trailer for tonight’s midnight release, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.  Brace yourself for what looks like the battle of the century between Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe) and “He Who Shall Remain Nameless.” 

This latest film is the penultimate of the series, the finale coming out July 15, 2011 (and judging by the film’s title, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out).  Part 1 of the “Epic Finale” Starts tonight! Of course you’ve probably already heard about this event and are stoked to catch a seat in the theater tomorrow night (maybe you are already waiting in line as I write this).

Are you ready for the beginning of the end?  Check out this sweet Harry Potter Godric Gryffindor Sword!  This sword comes straight from the Chamber of Secrets and is the sword Harry beat Basilisk with and could definitely defeat Voldemort with too.

Our little Harry Potter Corner of the Web – Harry Potter Weapons

The legend of the man who stole from the rich to give to the poor meets yet another twist of the storyline in the most recent film about Robin Hood, the prince of thieves.

In this story of how the hero became an outlaw, during the time of war, Robin Longstride is an archer in the army of King Richard Coeur de Lion. He is a libertarian and a rebel striving to overcome high taxes and the scheme of the government which take away liberties of his own people. After a long story and several intense battles, Robin defeats the dangerous Godfrey who hoped to open doors for the French to more easily overtake England. Robin then becomes a hero, which is an apparent threat to King John, who declares him an outlaw, thus the beginning of the legend we all know.

Unleash the freedom fighter in you and pick up a Robin Hood Sword today! You can forever hold onto the memory of Robin of Locksley in your own home or office. This is a wonderful decoration piece as the blade is engraved with images of Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, and Little John. Comes with a display plaque.

Sword Specs:

• Blade Length: 34″
• Handle Length: 8”
• Overall Length: 42″
• Stainless Steel Blade
