Hello!!

It's been a whole since our last update ..However we are having our Father's Day Sale which will be running from now until Midnight on Weds June 18th 2025. Prices have been discounted for this sale.  Also we will be posting two more pattern welded daggers tomorrow and a notice will be posted here once they are up and available.

Jim is working as hard as he can to get caught up from the grinder breakdown so more pieces will be posted once they are done.

Also.. if you would be so kind as to visit Jim's YouTube channel to get a glimpse of Jim at work and to hear that Cranky Old Bastard explain things. The link is below:

Jim is still trying to get the bugs out as far as the whole video thing goes so please understand that these are works in progress..

In closing, than you for your time and interest in us here at Salamander Armoury

Hello!

Another update..Jim is slowly getting back to work..things were bogged down a bit due to the down time from the grinder blowing up but we are  getting back up to speed and are in the midsts of filling all the back orders we have for black iron and wire mounted high carbon blades.. So as we fill back orders we will also be making  a few for immediate sale here...so please check back from time to time to see what we added. . A bit of advice.. these blades don't usually stay listed for long so...be aware of that..

Jim is still trying to get into the YouTube swing of things but he is still really uncomfortable in doing that..as he puts it "I hope I am not making an idiot out of myself with my rantings".. Take a look and see if he does:

If you like what he is doing.. please hit the like and the subscribe buttons.. we'd really appreciate  that! The Cranky Old Bastard would like it too!!

Also..our sale is still ongoing...if you are interested in a piece...make an offer on it..Our coffers are becoming depleted so now would be a good time...

In closing,...thank you for the interest in us here at Salamander Armoury

Hello all!!

Just an update on how things are progressing and some breaking news.

Jim has finally gotten his Frankengrinder back together, trued up and balanced so he is now finishing up some hand work only pieces and then he is back at it hammer and tongs. Also we are extending the grinder sale until the end of the month..so take a look...we will be posting new pieces now that Jim is back to work..

Now for something completely different:

Jim has finally given into all of you who have been hammering him for the last year or so to due some  videos. Well we have just launched his YouTube Channel:

https://www.youtube.com/@jimhrisoulas

There are already several videos posted so please take a look and if you like them, please hit the like button and subscribe..That would be wonderful if you did. He is calling them the "Cranky Old Bastard" series...very fitting... so please take a look...We hope to get Jim to figure out how to be a bit more at ease in front of the camera, but he's old and set in his ways so..We will see. Still have to get a video camera for the real "how he does it" episodes..More on this later..

What's coming next: EVERYTHING from high carbon to welded cable to pattern welded to Wootz steel. Bronze, silver and black iron fittings.. Swords, knives, daggers and everything cause we are back up and running,,,

So in closing..please pop over to the videos, leave a comment or two.. and like and subscribe if you are feeling generous..

Thank you for the interest in us..
