All of the work pictured in this catalog (and custom work as well) is 100% hand done by him.  From steel and material selection, to forging, heat treating, finishing and leather work, it is all hand done with no mechanical set-ups or jigs.  The reason that we do it this way is that we feel that it makes for a superior blade, one that will out perform any blade that is just ground out of a bar of steel.... <br> Jim is also a master of Pattern-Welding, often mistakenly refereed to as "Damascus".  Pattern-Welding is the welding of dissimilar metals into a single blade. By stacking, bending, and folding this "Laminate" an unlimited number of patterns can be created.  This process creates a blade, if done properly, which is much stronger and flexible than other blades. <br> The techniques and methods used at Salamander Armoury have been used in dozens of cultures around the world for well over 15 centuries to create the finest One-Of-A-Kind blades fit for Royalty and Nobility.     </p> <div align="center"><center><table border="5" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5" width="70%" background="pics/parch.gif"> <tr> <td><p align="center"><font size="+2" face="Book Antiqua"><a href="F-master.html">Meet the Master</a></font>...Who makes these?<br>   <font size="+2" face="Book Antiqua"><a href="F-pattern.htm">What is Pattern-Welding</a></font>...Pattern-what? <br> <a href="F-catalog-frames.htm"><font size="+2" face="Book Antiqua">Our On-Line Catalog</font></a>...make your X-mas list now!  <br> <a href="F-orderinfo.html"><font size="+2" face="Book Antiqua">Ordering Information</font></a>...and order forms! <br> <font face="Book Antiqua"><big><a href="F-events.html">Events</a> </big></font>...come see us!<br> <font face="Book Antiqua"><big><a href="file:///d:/webs/shark/salamanderarmo/links/links.htm">Links</a> </big></font>...see related links, and even add your own.</p> <p align="center"><font color="#008000">Note: You will have to use your browsers "Back" button to return to this index.</font></td> </tr> </table> </center></div><p align="center">  <b><i><font color="#FF0000">Salamander Armoury</font></i></b><br> <b><font color="#FF0000">330 S.
