Update!!

Things here are finally settling down and Jim is getting back to working more hours in the studio. It's been a long time coming but finally we are getting a  break!!

In the next 24 to 26 hours Jim will be posting one of his "cutter" katanas that he has been doing cutting tests with. The blade is getting a touch up polish so it's all nice and pretty again. It's not a fancy sword..in what we call combat mounts.. More on this in the blade description once it is posted for sale..As soon as it is up I will be posting notice here...

What is coming... Black iron mounted swords and daggers along with some pattern welded pieces and as soon as they are finished these will also be posted so please check back regularly to see what's new.  Also it's "Wootz Season"..with the temperatures dropping a good bit we can do some more Wootz melts so we will be posting these as well once they are done..

In closing we wish to thank you all for the support, prayers and well wishes. We appreciate that greatly...

Stay safe and thank you all once again..

This is a beautiful sword. It is also one of the last 4 full sized sword blades I did for book IV, and it is listed for immediate sale on our "In Stock" pages.  so please take a look.

We are currently still working as fast as we can without taking any "short cuts" to get back orders filled and shipped as well as making stock to populate our web site.  So please drop by and see what is new. We will post notices here when new pieces are available.

In closing I wish to thank everyone who sent prayers for us here. we appreciate that immensely . while we still have a little ways to go yet, we can see the end..

Hello!!  An ujhpdate:

A lot has been happening.. Sue had her first surgery, it was a bit more involved than was expected but she is doing well so far. She will need at least one more surgery to correct the problems she is having. I wish to thank everyone who wrote in  support of what she is going through...THANK YOU!!  

I have been so busy with helping and tending that some things have been placed on hold...Everyone that have orders that are awaiting shipping :..those will be going out this week and tracking numbers will be sent as soon as they are out the door. THANK YOU for your patience...

What is happening..Book IV is getting closer to completion. I am working on the foundry sections at the moment...making crucibles for both wootz production and casting Cu alloys and the like...

Also in the next 24 to 36 hours I will be posting another Japanese style sword mounted in grey and black. This is one of the last "left overs" I did for research for book IV's sections on Japanese style blades....As soon as it is posted I will place notice here.

Our medical sale is still ongoing and will continue until this surgical treatments are complete. New pieces will be posted as they are finished along with the backorders I am currently  working on. So please stop by every now and then to see what's new...

In closing..thank you all once again...
