40 Years on the Edge
CAS Iberia is the leading wholesale provider of affordable, high-quality swords, knives, and reenactment gear catering to a vast array of enthusiasts, collectors, outdoorsmen, and martial arts practitioners that demand more from their equipment. Working hand in hand with our suppliers puts us on the cutting edge of design and manufacturing, often imitated but never duplicated.
We began as an importer of quality knives from Spain over 30 years ago and have since grown into one of the largest wholesale distributors of quality swords, knives, reenactment, sparring, and fantasy gear in North America, Australia, and beyond.
The relationship with Hanwei & Paul Chen began in 1998 with the release of the original Shinto Katana, revolutionizing the quality of katana available to sword enthusiasts outside of true Japanese-made Nihonto. Over the years, Hanwei and Paul Chen's names have become synonymous with high-quality swords.
Our association with GDFB, which began in September 2008, continues to flourish. GDFB provides reenactors and role-players with an ever-expanding selection of armor and period accessories.
In late 2011, we began our relationship with Red Dragon Armory, a small group of dedicated makers based in the UK that developed, in conjunction with Dave Rawlings, an excellent set of high-impact polymer training swords for the HEMA market.
In late 2012, we completed the purchase of the Legacy Arms / Generation 2 line of medieval swords. The forge, located in The Philippines, has been making significant waves with its reputation for extremely tough medieval sword reproductions.
In 2013, we also partnered with Kizlyar Supreme, a knife manufacturer from Russia, to offer a wide range of high-end hunting, tactical, and folding knives.
Continuing the tradition of offering the highest quality options to collectors, we announced in the summer of 2014 a collaboration with Citadel Knives and Swords of Cambodia to produce a line of high-end limited edition samurai swords. Citadel is a low-volume maker handcrafting each component of their knives and swords.
Spring of 2015 saw the announcement of the availability of Citadel's handmade knives. These knives are unique in offering premium modern steels with high-end natural materials for the handles.
After nearly 2 years of design and development work, we were proud to bring the first swords from Frenchie Jin's Dragon King Forge to North America in late 2015. Dragon King combines exceptional casting and design work with highly functional forged steel blades to create remarkable swords.
In early 2016, we introduced the first swords under the all-new Kingston Arms brand of swords. Kingston Arms was conceived as a premium line of historical, stage, reenactment, and HEMA swords and accessories for the discerning European sword enthusiast. Kingston Arms will also host our first US-made swords, brought to life by famed medieval sword maker Angus "Gus" Trim.
