Production Progress Report - We're Almost There!

by Gili Yankovitch

Sword of Secrets is entering the final stretch. All 250 swords from the first production batch have arrived and each one has now been flashed and fully tested. This was a major milestone; seeing the entire batch come to life on the bench was incredibly satisfying.

On the packaging side, everything is now in hand. This includes the custom, laser-cut cardboard back plates, the 3D-printed packaging pieces, and the printed labels. All components are being assembled into the complete final product right now. The last steps are manual: labeling, stacking, wrapping, and packing each unit into the custom packaging.

It is all coming together and it feels so satisfying.

Thank you again to everyone who supported this project. Your backing is the reason these swords exist in the real world. Shipping is getting closer every day and I cannot wait for you to hold the final result.
