When was Swordis Founded?

Swordis was founded by the same team that created SwordEncyclopedia, which later became Swordis Blog—known for being the most reliable source of sword-related information, curated by sword enthusiasts. Our brand was officially launched on August 31, 2023. Although Swordis is a new company, our team brings years of experience in historical research and swordsmanship. We have carefully selected our suppliers and products to ensure the highest quality in our collaborations. We are committed to continuing to provide comprehensive resources on swords for both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts, while offering a wide variety of high-quality items.

Is Swordis a Sword Manufacturer?

Swordis is not a manufacturer; rather, we are a retail shop that collaborates with 20+ of the most reputable brands, which are vetted by sword enthusiasts. You can visit our brand page to view all the brands included in our collection. We continually update our product inventory and aim to feature all possible brands by the end of 2024. Additionally, we offer a "private label" collection of affordable swords for customers seeking fantasy swords for cosplay or as toys.

Where Do You Get the Swords From?

We don't source our swords from a single location as we collaborate with numerous suppliers located worldwide in countries including the US, China, Japan, Europe, India, and Africa. All these brands are verified by our in-house team following intensive research and discussions with sword enthusiasts on blogs, forums, and social media.

Can Real Swords be Purchased on the Website?

All of our swords are inspired by historical designs and are crafted by sword makers or suppliers with proven experience. While we do not offer authentic or antique swords, we do have high-quality replicas available to suit various budgets. At the moment, authentic swords, including antique swords, can generally be purchased from specialized antique dealers or from certain regions such as Japan, where traditional swordsmithing practices continue. In Japan, for instance, swords crafted by experienced swordsmiths can range in price from $4,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Do you Have all the products in stock?

Some products labeled as "Out of Stock" are currently unavailable, but our suppliers plan to restock them. Products marked "In Stock" are ready for dispatch from our US warehouse or, for international suppliers, after careful assembly and inspection.

While we can't stock all 1000+ products at all times, we work with our suppliers to ensure steady availability. Please note that "In Stock" items from international suppliers may take longer to ship (from 2 to 4 weeks) due to the additional time required for quality inspection.

Can You Make me a Custom Sword?

We are excited to announce the launch of our custom katana builder! You can now assemble your own katana using premade parts here. By the end of September, we will introduce additional builders for wakizashi, tanto, shirasaya, and more.

If you have a unique customization in mind, we've partnered with swordsmiths worldwide to bring your vision to life. Although the full range of custom builders is not yet available, we welcome inquiries and are happy to accommodate custom requests in the interim. Please feel free to contact us with your requirements.

What is the difference between Customer Order and Custom Swords?

On our website, we have some products made on custom request that are not in stock but available to order. This is because the supplier either has a long queue of orders, or some brands, like Z-SEY, are not mass production companies. Each product from their inventory takes a few weeks to a few months to craft. Custom Swords are swords that you can customize using our sword builder or by sending special requirements to us.

Where can You Deliver Products?

While we primarily operate in the US, we are gradually expanding our reach worldwide. At this moment, we can only ship internationally to specific countries for specific brands marked as International Suppliers, such as ShadowDancer, Han Bon Forge, Z-SEY, and Jkoo. These countries include Canada, Germany, France, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, the Netherlands, and Romania.

Following this, additional time will be needed for the shipping company to deliver your order. This duration varies from 2 to 7 working days for products in stock that are not custom-made, depending on the supplier's location and whether we can ship the products from the US fulfillment center. For more information about shipping times, please check our Shipping and Returns page.

There are some exceptions where the products are made only based on requests; for those, we will display on the product page the extra time needed to prepare them before we can ship.

You can expect to receive a notification from us once your order has been processed and handed over to the shipping company. This notification will include your tracking code and a link where you can actively track your order. You will receive additional notifications when the shipping company has collected the package, when it's out for delivery, and once it's been delivered.

How much does the Shipping Cost?

Shipping costs typically vary depending on the size of the order and the destination. On average, the shipping cost for an order will be around $19, though it can go up to $45for larger orders. We offer free shipping for a decent selection of products, which will be clearly indicated on the product page. If there are any shipping costs, they will be calculated on the checkout page.
