Harry Potter – Gordic Gryffindor Sword

November 18, 2010

“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.

Sword Specs:

Overall Length: 41”
Blade Material: Stainless Steel
Comes with Scabbard

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!

Wrap your hands around any of these swords and you won’t want to put them down. Ever.

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.

Naruto Costume

October 12, 2009

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):
