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...

An update. We just listed two new wootz steel pieces on our In Stock pages. This material is the "Original Damascus Steel" and it is quite something to see the way the crystalline structures formed during its manufacture These these two pieces are being offered at a discounted list price due to medical bill needs,,,so please take a peek and give them a once over..

Also...Jim is now doing live youtube sessions...these are twice a week...the first is "Knife Talk" and the other one is "Gun Gab".. Yeah the Cranky Old Bastard is trying to break into the 21st Century. Details on these live broadcasts are on our YouTube pages:

Hello...

The latest update on our phione...it is still out...supposedly they will not be able to restore our phone service until Friday, April 03 2026. why this is I can not get a straight answer.. However I am still being a real PITA and trying to get them to be a bit more attentive to my situation.. Whether that works or not..  well, I guess I will see.. In the mean time...

We still have an internet connection and I can be reached at the following e-mail:

So if anyone needs to contact ne e-mail is the only way at the moment. With that being said...

When I first started doing YouTuibe videos i told my viewers that when I hit 750 subscribers I would start going live. Well I am at 850 plus so I have been figuring out how to do just that and I managed to do a live test.. So here we go..

Sunday , 29 March, 2026 I wil be going live at 1730hrs Eastern time. I am planning on a half our segment..unless I get invaded with 100's of eager and screaming "knife fanatics" ion which case I will stay on longer..

In closing...thank you for your interest.. It is greatly appreciated..
