God of War - Kratos Blade of Chaos

February 25, 2010

“As for Kratos, no mere sword and shield would befit the newest servant of the God of War. The Blades of Chaos, forged in the foulest depths of Hades. Once attached, the blades remained so, chained and seared to the flesh, a part of the bearers body, a permanent reminder of Kratos’ pledge”Hold nothing back as you unleash your fury on those who loathe to take you down. What better weapon to release your blood thirsty rage with than that of the man who plays the part so well – Kratos.

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of the official version of the Blades of Chaos from the God of War video game series. Our newest of this fantastic weapon line is brought to you by the fine craftsmen of United Cutlery while overseen in the making by Kit Rae, himself! And you can be sure that you get the real thing with this weapon as each one is laser serial numbered and marked with copyrights.

Made from zinc aluminum material with custom etched mold textures, the blade you see here looks just like that wielded by Kratos. United Cutlery uses only the finest materials so you can trust that you are going to get something unbeatable.

Kratos is known as an anti-hero from the God of War series. Starting out doing everything he can to fight against Ares, the God of War, Kratos later finds himself giving his life for servitude to Ares. When this happened, Ares fixed the Blades of Chaos to his arms by chains. These are the weapons of choice for this ruthless killing machine.

If you are a true God of War fan, you’ve got to have one of these. Comes with a sweet stand to display your fantastic new weapon of bloodshed.

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!

Valiant Armoury Swords

October 19, 2009

The crew at Heavenly Swords is proud to carry these beautiful creations by Valiant Armoury in our inventory. Valiant Armourny swords are medieval collectibles that are designed to be real swords. 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.

Transform yourself into the mighty ninja, Naruto Uzumaki this Halloween season. Strive to become the strongest ninja in your village with any of our fear-instilling, yet fascinating Naruto weapons from the anime manga series!

Tips on Creating the Naruto look:

To dress like Naruto, use an orange jumpsuit and cut and sew a few pieces to complete the look (the pants should stop just below the knees and are loos fitting while the top should be orange with blue shoulders with an orange or white collar). Add a black belt, a headband, and a blonde wig (if you don’t have short, blonde hair)!

To finalize your look, you definitely need some weapons! Check out our inventory of Naruto weapons today! My recommendations: Naruto Sasuke Kusanagi Grass Cutter Sword for the Sasuke fan or the Wooden Zabuza Sword!

Ninja Costume

October 10, 2009

So you want to be a Ninja (or “kunoichi” if you are a lady) this Halloween? Dressing up like a ninja is probably one of the coolest yet easiest costume ideas around. Sometimes dressing up isn’t as fun when you don’t play the part so here you will find some simple steps on how to be a ninja for a night and a couple must-have items for you.

Step 1. Dress like a ninja. They key here is dark – my choice would be black. Black pants, black shirt (turtleneck if you can tolerate one), and a ninja mask (you can make this easily out of a long piece of fabric or a tshirt). For simple steps on how to make a ninja mask from a tee shirt, please see below:
How to make a ninja mask out of a t-shirt: Put the shirt over your head, stopping with the neck opening right around your nose. While leaving the front of the neck opening around your face, pull the back of the opening up over your head and hang right above your eyes. Then take the loose parts of the shirt and place behind your head while tying the arms together in back. Tuck any excess fabric in the shirt you will be wearing.

Step 2: Think, react, and move like a ninja: The way of the ninja is not a violent or angry. The ninja does not manipulate by violent force, but instead by words and actions. You need to think before you react and never react in anger. You must be able to move stealthily and escape effectively. Have self control.

Step 3: Practice ninjutsu: Show off to your friends (an foes) with your cool ninja skills.

Step 4: Get ninja weapons and swords! Some ninja essentials are below (wooden swords are recommended for Halloween, but not required):

Pirate Costume

October 10, 2009

You want to dress up like a pirate, aye? Set out on the high seas with one o’ these Pirate Swords this Halloween!

Need a little direction before beginning your voyage? To create a cool Pirate costume, follow this simple recipe!

1. Clothes: Grab a white button-up shirt or blouse (one with wide arms preferred) or a ruffly Victorian type and combine with a black or brown vest. A pair of beat up grey, black, or brown pants will do – maybe tear a hole or two in them so they look nicely worn out. The pants should either be snug or very loose. For the women, a long, black peasant skirt will do the trick.

2. Accessories: You will need tall black or brown boots, a bandana, a wide belt with large buckle or a sash, and gold hoop earrings.

3. Sword: The most important part of the pirate costume is the Pirate Sword. Some suggestions are:

Pirate’s Swashbuckling Sword for serious flesh ripping fun. This one comes with a leather scabbard which can be attached to your belt loop for easy carrying.
Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirates of the Caribbean Cutlass for the movie fans or any scoundrel of the high seas and is full of beautiful detail.
Wooden Pirate Cutlass is perfect for the occasion – especially while out having piratey fun!

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”
