Standing before terms

The Dealer’s Gate

Warborn Blades does not hand its trade terms to whoever asks. Carrying this steel is a responsibility before it is a margin: these are real, edged arms, and the house that sells them answers for every hand they reach. We deal only with licensed, documented, lawfully standing businesses — vetted personally by the Founder.

No trade price, no rate and no price sheet is shown, sent or downloadable before a house is sworn in. There is nothing to ask for on this page but the chance to be judged worthy of it.

What the house requires

Five papers, in hand

Every one of these must be sent, legible, in the same legal name. A missing paper is a closed gate — the Founder holds herself to the same standard she asks of you.

  1. 01 · A business licence

    Current, in the legal name of the house, issued by the authority that governs where you trade.

  2. 02 · Articles of organization or incorporation

    The founding instrument of the entity, as filed with your state.

  3. 03 · A letter of Good Standing

    Awarded and sealed by your state, dated within the year.

  4. 04 · Your EIN

    The federal employer identification number of the entity named above.

  5. 05 · Your state sales tax certificate

    The certificate that permits you to resell taxable goods in your state.

The proving

You must hold the steel yourself

No house sells what it has never handled. Before a dealership is granted, you buy one piece of Warborn steel at your dealer coin, take it in your own hands, and send back photographic proof of the purchase together with your honest word on it — what you found good, and what you would have us mend. We will not ask of a dealer what the Founder has not already done herself.

The look-into

A background check

Every principal of the applying house consents to a background review before terms are discussed. This trade is serious, it is age-restricted, and it is watched. A house unwilling to be looked into is not a house that carries this steel.
