Welcome to the Bold Blades web site. We are glad you stopped by and hope you will enjoy looking at what we have to offer. Please note that we do not have a shopping cart on our site and you must call in, fax or mail an order. We have resisted the shopping cart thing because we like to talk to our customers, answer your questions - if we can - and tell you about the availability of what you want to order. We cannot do that if we install a shopping cart. We believe that personal contact is better than anonymous sales and hope you will agree. We will soon be adding FAQs to our "About Bold Blades" section. They will cover some of the most commonly asked questions and explain more about our business and how we view our relationship with you, the customer. Once again, welcome to our site and thanks for stopping in. Come back often as we make frequent changes to our product line.



Our family and staff at the Loch Norman Highland Games, 2007. From left to right the short guy is David Robinson, behind him are Tina Robinson, Stuart Robinson, Blannie Robinson and Lin Robinson. We Wish you and your family a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Office Hours:  2 PM to 10 PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday, and most Saturdays 10 AM to 6 PM. Remember you can fax an order or query or leave a message. We will return your call)   You may fax an order or query 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  You may also leave a message and we will call you back. Please note that Bold Blades is a home-based business. That means that you may call during our business hours and not reach us. If you miss us please do leave a message. We will call you back as soon as we possibly can.

Bold Blades does not have a retail store.  We do attend several Highland Games in the Southeast each year. We enjoyed the Mint Hill Highland Games on March 28, in spite of some not-so-great weather. Well, it is March in North Carolina so nothing is certain in the weather department. We were unable to attend the Laurel Hill games in Ararat, Va., due to some unforseen circumstances. The reports are that it was a good event and we will try to be there next year. We will be at the Triad Games near Greensboro, NC in May 2d and 3rd and the Greenville Scottish Games and Highland Festival in June. We will also be at the Taste of Scotland, Franklin, NC the weekend after the Greenville Scottish Games. If you are in the area, please come to see us and patronize these games. They all need our support to remain viable.



The 2007/2008 paper catalog is available. We also have the PDF version ready for anyone who requests it via email. There are two errors in the file. The NC sales tax rate in our area is 6.75%, not 7%. We also discovered that the Officers' Broadsword is mis-priced in the catalog. It is now $300. Our apologies for the errors.



WHEN PAYING BY CREDIT CARD PLEASE PROVIDE THE THREE DIGIT PIN NUMBER FOUND ON THE BACK OF YOUR CARD. IT IS USUALLY LOCATED NEAR THE SIGNATURE STRIP AND FOLLOWS THE LAST FOUR DIGITS OF THE CARD. OUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY REQUIRES US TO HAVE THIS NUMBER OR WE CANNOT AUTHORIZE YOUR SALE, WHICH WILL DELAY THE SHIPMENT OF YOUR ORDER.

Bold Blazons- (please click here to view our selection) Beautifully crafted in correct heraldic colors and about 4 inches tall, our blazer patches are accented with gold and silver on a stiffened black felt background.  Available in over 170 Clan and family names. We have added photos of our new "Baillie", "Carnegie", "Crichton" and "Hall" crest badges. We have also changed the Wallace badge photo to the new design.

Three clutch-type pin fasteners let you move your crest from blazer to sweater to pocket to jacket.  Also available, United States Military blazer patches.  Available for the US Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard.  Embroidered with gold, silver and silk thread and equipped with the clutch-type pin fasteners like our Clan Crest patches.  $19.95, Postpaid.  For a sample of the backing, please click  here.

The patches shown are meant to illustrate the designs and colors, and are not necessarily representative of the actual quality of the patches available now.  To see the current offerings click on the Clan Gunn patch or see below. We can also make custom patches from your design, for your Society or Pipe Band at reasonable prices. Call for information. (Please note that we will have mininum quantity requirements for custom badges. At this time we are unable to make badges which represent full coats of arms with crests and supporters, etc. Also, we will not provide badges which represent "fake" coats of arms, such as those provided to the purchasers of bogus Scottish titles or small plots of land in Scotland which are purported to convey titles to their buyers. This sort of thing has become rampant on the Internet in recent years. If you wish to avoid these scams we recommend that you visit the web site of THE BARONAGE PRESS® and read their article covering these types of schemes.)

Order and Shipping Policy:

At Bold Blades we try to keep our most popular items in stock at all times. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not wait until you order to order from our suppliers. However, at any given time we may be out of an item. Most of our blades come from US-based wholesalers but our bonnets, belts, sporrans, blazons and a few of our blades are imported directly by us. If we are out of stock we will, of course tell you when you call, or send you a card or letter, or call if you mail your order. In the case of credit cards we will not charge your card until the requested items are available for shipment. In the case of checks or money orders we will get your approval to hold these funds until shipment. If, at any time you do not feel you can wait for us to resupply we will cheerfully refund your money, if paid by check. We try our best to ship all in stock items within 24 hours of receiving your order, subject to the availability of UPS or the Postal Service. Remember that you only pay one post and packing charge per multiple order, the highest for any one item in your order. Fixed shipping charges apply to shipment within the US only. Foreign orders or rush shipments will incur additional charges.

Product prices and availability are subject to change without notice. Styles may also change. Occasionally a manufacturer will make significant changes (almost always improvements) to their items. We believe that in most cases you will be happy with the changes but, if not, the returns policy allows you to send it back. We cannot provide special selection on any item.

Bold Blades does not share its mailing list or any customer information with any other firms. Your privacy is a major concern for us.
