Hello...

Something very unfortunate happened last week..My wife Sue suffered a slip and fall and that ended up pretty much destroying her knee replacement in her left leg as well as breaking her left femur in two places.  I have been spending a lot of time with her..

It took the hospital 4 days to address the broken leg and the knee replacement. NO ONE is telling me why it took so long, but it did.. I WILL find out. Sue did not do well in surgery. She currently has a fever as well as a breathing tube, the doctors are thinking it is either an infection or a fat  embolism from the broken bone and/or the knee replacement. She is currently in the ICU up in Brooksville as the local hospital here doesn't have the facilities to treat her properly. She has been in the ICU since Monday the 19th.. They did address the bone breaks when they replaced the knee..

So I am humbly asking that for those of you so inclined to please mention her in your prayers, we would greatly appreciate it if you did. She is in Mazda's hands now and I know the Wise Lord will look after her.

Now if anyone has been trying to call you know why no one has been answering. I am asking for your understanding while we deal with this situation. I will be doling updates as  things change. I wish this was a happier update.

In closing, thank you for you time and interest.

Hello!!  An update!

As of now, we are having our annual Memorial Day Sale. Prices are discounted  and I just added one more pattern welded dagger to our in stock pages. Pease take a look at see.

Other News: We have tried to keep this quiet  that my health/physical condition hasn't been that great the last few months. That has  slowly been changing. I am in the last days of some heavy anti-biotics to knock out this stubborn infection that has been hanging on here  for way too long. I am starting to "come around" and respond to this last med now and hopefully I will be able to go back to work here in the very near future.  Needless to say things have piled up a bit and well..as soon as I can I will be back out there full time and get these pieces that you fine folks have ordered out the door. I want to thank you all for your patience ..It is GREATLT appreciated!  THANK YOU

Also..look for another announcement tomorrow in regards to something I am going to try as far as the website goes..I am quite certain you will find it interesting.

THANK YOU once again!

Hello!!

 

It has been a while since we had an update and several things have transpired.. So here we go...

First: Neck surgery.. Seems that I had a couple of shell fragments working their way out of my neck pretty much since I got them in 2004  on my last deployment with the 324th.  This has been bothering me off and on for about 4 to 5 years and finally I had enough and went in..They dug them out.. sutured me up and sent me on my merry way.. Healed up no problems and I can actually move my head without feeling something  odd "in there" moving around in my neck.

Second: PayPal. Well..it seems that we here at Salamander Armoury are making and selling illegal, deadly weapons and PayPal doesn't like that so they closed not only my personal account, but my business account as well Sue's..Doesn't matter that there are over 140 THOUSAND sword, dagger and various knife  auctions on eBay that accept PayPal as a payment method..yet I am not allowed to due to the fact that I am selling "illegal, dangerous weapons".. I have no idea as to why we were singled out but we no longer accept PayPal. Now I am not taking this sitting down and I am fighting this..I am just starting to becoming a thorn in their arse over this...We are no where near done..

Now..we have signed up with Google Pay, and that is now active and this information will be on out payment pages shortly..  Which brings us to this:

NEW ITEMS!!

Since I am working on the final phases of book IV I have finished up several more Japanese inspired pieces..4 tanto and a wicked little  Naginata blade that will be posted sometime in the next 36 to 48 hours along with two more pieces of pattern welded materials.. These are really NICE so please take a look and see what we are putting up. I will be posting here when they are in fact available..So pleases check back..

In closing, THANK YOU for dropping by and for your continued support.. We here at Salamander Armoury greatly appreciate the patronage.

Thank you once again...

Hello:

To all of you who wrote in and sent their condolences and support after our recent loss..  We wish to say THANK YOU for your understanding and support. Things are still a mess and we are working our way slowly through everything but there is still a small mountain of things that need to be addressed...However we are making some headway..as slow as it is it is still progress..

Update: We are back at it..granted for a limited amount of time each day but I am back to work  as much as I can while dealing with this  (the aftermath is  still taking a sizable amount of time) yet I am getting some items done so keep looking as see what is new.

Which brings us to this: I just posted two more pieces..one a pattern welded dagger and the other  a  Gen II Dai-sho  (I have two numbers left in my series after this set)

This set is listed in my Japanese Style Blade Section and is ready to go..  So take a look..It is a gorgeous set..

So stay tuned for new items as they are finished and once again.. THANK YOU to all for your understanding and support...
