Interesting Blade supplier

[The Badger]

Thought I'd share this find, hope it's not been discussed too recently:

Swords of Black Wind, includes Black epoxy coated carbon steel blade, nylon parachute cord wrapped handle, form fitting Kydex sheath, styles:
Katana 30 inch - 20in blade $145
Wakazashi 23 inch - 15in blade $125
Khandar 13 inch - 8in blade $ 83
Trench Sword 18 in - 12in blade $117
Jager 21 inch - 15in blade $126
Bengal 26 inch - 18in blade $143
Malay 26 inch - 18in blade $134
Khyber 24 inch - 18in blade $137

Found at SouthWest Weapons http://www.southwestweapons.com/blackwind.htm

Also found 'em at: http://www.safeguy.com/swordpg2.html for about $30 bucks less, each.

Hope this is useful. I'm not affil. with 'em or anything. Looks like a reasonable adjunct to Kris, but prob. a bit less quality but at least they're full tang (cord wrapped) and are carbon steel, and not stainless 440C.

Anybody seen these blades, or tried 'em??

Here's a link to some of the lowest prices I've seen for knives/blades on the Net.

Haven't done biz w/ the company, but gee a Junglee Short sword for 1/2 price (retail $140-160, here $86)
