For over 25 years CAS Hanwei has been providing top quality swords, knives and accessories.
Their commitment to quality and innovation is unchanging and their technological capabilities are expanding rapidly.
Unfortunately in 2011 CAS Hanwei suffered the loss of their forging facility in China due to a massive fire.
Rebuilding efforts were begun but bad weather has halted reconstruction until spring 2012.
We will attempt to keep as many items in stock as possible and will reorder as quickly as possible but as CAS Hanwei runs out of items we are told to not expect them back in stock until June or July 2012
Also as items have become less available other dealers have taken advantage of the situation and started charging inflated prices due to "law of supply and demand".
This has prompted CAS Hanwei to raise their prices by at least 20% on remaining inventory.
Excalibur Brothers was not involved in this practice as it goes against our policy of a quality product at a fair price with a fair profit.
We will hold the line on prices of our in stock items but as we restock at the higher prices we will be updating our prices so if we have a sword in stock you want it's best to order it now. (Some items have already been restocked at the new pricing)
We do not know if CAS will return pricing to the lower levels when new stock begins arriving once the new forge is completed.
