The knife Nontron is the oldest folding knife in France. It takes its name from a small town in the Dordogne, where the tradition of cutlery has perdured since the 15th century.
The Opinel is likely one of the best selling and most used knives worldwide. Since its creation in 1890, its success has never wavered.

Salamander Armoury is owned and operated by Jim Hrisoulas, a full time bladesmith with over 50 years experience in hand forging finely crafted blades. All of the work pictured here on this site (and custom work as well) is 100% hand-crafted by Jim. From steel and material selection, to forging, heat treating, finishing and leather work, it is all done by hand with no mechanical set-ups or jigs. We feel this hand forging coupled with proper thermal treatment makes for a superior blade, one that will out perform any blade that is just ground out of a bar of steel.
