And it worked for Stromlo. Now when I have money I'll order from him instead of the manufacturer, weapon edge.

And I was waiting to buy this week this, . Now,seriously guys,are you in such a hurry? I sent an email to Ryan late last night and he replied me today : "We had a catastrophic web server failure. We are still in business and still operating as normal with the exception of the site. We hope to be back up later this week. Thanks Ryan Whittlinger" I hope that clarify any rumors and calm down anxious manic depressive buyers ;D. Attachments:

I take my computer home, reset all of my bookmarks, and kult of athena wasn't working I though I had just bought a lame computer, but it's okay now thanks for the update crystal, we'll hope to see you back nya

Thanks Kagemusha, and Crystal from KoA who posted the rumor calming info yesterday afternoon. I have found it very useful to read previous posts, so as to not re-post info.
I have been waiting, money burning a hole in the pockets, for KoA to come back up. I know all about the other sites, but I also want to get some non sword items that I have come across elsewhere for a lot more money. Sure I could buy all the things I want and get them quickly from these other sites, but I'm not in a hurry, and I don't want to pay a separate shipping cost for each and every thing I am going to get. I agree with Kagemusha and others that patience is a good thing. Good things come to those who wait after all.

Making progress -- now it's back under their control but with a "we're down for right now" kind of message.

Hi all- It's Crystal from Kult Of Athena.com We are still in business, we are still shipping & processing orders, we are not selling the domain name & the showroom is still open. Did I cover everything? We had MAJOR server problems, anyone with a computer can understand this & it was something out of our control. We are currently having these problems fixed, but it does take some time. We hope to be back up & running fully by the end of the week. If you have questions about an item, a previous order placed or would like to place a new order please feel free to call us or send an email. 847-531-8664 Info@KultOfAthena.com Our shopping cart system is still up & running, the front end is not. If you email us we can send you a link for you to fill out all your shipping info & credit card info & you can complete your order. On a side note- We have some amazing new lower prices on Hanwei items as well as some "extras" with other top brands. Keep an eye out for a future email which will be sent out to all our customers. If you would like to be included on this update please send us an email. Once again, thank you to all our customers, we truly appreciate your patience & understanding. Cheers to a Great New Year for everyone! Group hug! Thanks for sharing...now we can all rest easy, knowing you guys haven't gone anywhere.

Looks like they're sort of back up. Just one page instead of multiple ones, but the site is there again!

Confirming 14th Forsakens' report: I just placed an order on-line. It's not pretty or fully functional yet, but it's there.

I placed an order yesterday evening and I wanted to let everybody know what I found out.
All orders in the US over 100 dollars will have free budget shipping, and the main item i wanted to buy was at a discounted price. not everything has discounts but I did notice a couple items I looked at were at a reduced price. I got the Hanwei Side Sword and KoA already had the best price at 159.95 but now it's 133.95! Every where else has it for 170 at the lowest up to 219.
So if you were going to get something and are putting it off, give it another look and you might get a nice smile on your face!

Liam, you may also give Richard at Sword Nation a try. Don't know if he has it in stock but...... I'm sure he could beat that price.

Agreed. I'll more then likely be wanting one of these, and I'll more then Likely get it from Wiwingti... cuz I love crazy French Canadians.

In a weird sort of way I feel almost guilty that I haven't ordered anything from Wiwingti, like I'm not one of the "cool kids" or something. In my defense KoA is a couple hours drive away so any order I place with them is, in essence, overnight shipping. Granted I'm still pretty new and I've only ordered from them once (and Sword N Armory twice because Sword N Armory had a product and/or a price I couldn't find elsewhere. Edited to add: I also received excellent customer service from Sword N Armory) but the one time I ordered from KoA I had my sword in hand the next afternoon. That's a strong motivator to do repeat business with Kult of Athena.
