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..

Hello!!!

An update: Thanks to the patronage of  generous benefactor we now have the replacement wheels on their way!! THANK YOU!!  They should arrive here in the next few days...In the mean time...

We are extending the grinder sale until midnight (EST) on March 31 (Monday) 2025. This will help generate some additional income that we lost due to being down during the grinder breaking down. There are still some nice pieces left so if you have an interest in acquiring  a piece now is the time!! It will also help us out with that last little bit...

What is coming:  Once we get the grinder back together and running as it should be..we are starting several runs of black iron mounted swords, daggers and shortswords as well as pattern welded and some wootz pieces..  so please, drop by from  time to time to see what is new.

Thank you all once again and most of all thank you for your support and interest.

Howdy!

An update: First our grinder sale is still ongoing...we are still $800.00 short on getting the replacement wheels. Geeze these things are $$$ .. Jim is still working as fast as he can without the grinder but it is slow going.  So we are still open to best offers on anything we currently have in stock in order to help get these wheels so Jim can get back to a faster production run.

What is coming...albeit slowly.. Black iron mounted swords and daggers and since the grinding has been slowed down to  crawl.. Jim had a chance to do a couple of crucible melts and is hammering out several crucible steel (wootz) blades.  What these will be is still undecided. More on these as things progress.

In closing.. Thank you all for the interest and support..

Hello!!!

As mentioned in my previous update my grinder sale has started ..I am pretty much dead in the water as they say until I manage to get enough lucre to get the parts I need so please take a look at the sale price schedule.. I am pretty much limited to what I can do by hand..other than hot work.. and even then that is somewhat delayed due to my grinder being down but I am more or less hampered in getting work finished... This sale will run until I get enough pieces sold to cover the costs of the repairs...

If anything strikes your interest, please contact me....via e-mail is best at the moment (My e-mail is  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) ..Everything listed is currently available and I am open to honest offers on anything on this web site...  So take a look....

Thank you all for your interest..

Hello!!

An update...we have just posted several new items on our in stick pages.  One is a very nice welded cable dagger with a fluted Bakelite grip...So take a peek,

Well the "Powers That Be" paid us a visit. Jim blew out one of his grinders and frankly that really puts us in a bit of a bind so we need to raise around $1500.00  to get replacement wheels, bearings and a few other parts that are needed to get it back up and running and Jim back to work as planned before the grinder broke down.,.. When this blew it really blew up.. So we are having a sale.. This sale will start on Jan 07 2025 and will run until we get enough filthy lucre to get the needed parts and Jim back to work...  So as soon as everything is in place.. we will post a notice on here...

We hope you all had a Joyous New Year and let us all hope that 2025 is a better year than 2024 was.

Thank you all for the interest..
