Khalsa literally means pure one or pure one's -  Raj means or represents royal or royalty. For over 40 years now and led by Jot Singh, who adopted Sikhism 50 years ago and was baptized as a Khalsa, we have worked diligently creating 'one of a kind' knives, swords, kirpans, jewelry and artful objects for many throughout the world. We have been privileged to present our swords and kirpans at varied auspicious occasions within and close to the Sikh community in a handful of countries. Several of those stories and presentations are listed just below with links to the pieces and events....

Recently I attended this event. I believe it was scheduled for last year and because of the severity of the pandemic then, it was postponed a year. I had mixed feelings about going mainly because I don’t believe we are ‘out of the woods’ quite yet with Covid. I was getting messages that it was important for me to be there for a few reasons; my own healing/wholeness/sharing and to listen to and be with others, since I did not have those inclinations until more recently in this life. I’d been to two previous reunions of this class. I found...

What a ride it has been and we don’t really know if the end is in sight! Many are stressed beyond anything they have experienced previously and God bless each of those. Since I had no great need to travel for business, (since we have a successful online presence here) I also did not feel it was critical for me to be vaccinated. I double mask when food shopping (one of very few things I go out for) and I have no underlying health conditions at almost 69, it was only recently that I had my first vaccine shot and will receive...

 updated 6/22 In my experience, the first step in leaving fear is uncovering and learning about our own! This can take years, even decades as we often have layers of fear. For quite a few years I've held a prayer to become absolutely fearless. I visited Hemkunt, a mountaintop in the Himalayas in India with that prayer, where my teacher had shared that the ‘10th master and founder of the Sikhs’ had meditated for lifetimes prior to incarnating to serve and protect those in and around India as Guru Gobind Singh. He was a wonderful humanitarian and saint-soldier who lived in...

‘Be 10 times better than me’ and a roadmap…. The legacy left by my Teacher   As I reflect after embracing Kundalini Yoga and meditation and the teachings of Yogi Bhajan for the majority of my life of almost 70 years, I personally am grateful for all that he gave to me. His teachings and technology changed the course of many of our lives and continues to do so all around the world. It is helping save us from the insanity, meaninglessness and busyness of life today. It helped us heal and flourish and continues to do so, if we...

There likely is little doubt, that 300+ years ago when the 10th Sikh Master Guru Gobind Singh’s presence graced the earth and he led Sikhs and others into necessary battle, that Sarb Loh was the preferred blade material for kirpans and possibly swords that might have seen duty in the protection of oneself and others. I expect those kirpans and swords made from Sarb Loh would have had good edge-holding and toughness/ductility characteristics, when properly hardened and tempered. In over 40 years as a professional knife, sword and kirpan maker I've had numerous inquiries along the lines of: 'Do you offer...

It was 1972 when I began immersing myself in the world of art and metalsmithing. For 6 years I was fortunate to have excellent ‘master metalsmith’ professors and inspirational graduate student mentors to help me begin to apply my skills and gifts in becoming a creative artisan, gold and silversmith. I was blessed from the outset to embrace numerous opportunities, learning new skills around design, metals, tools and machinery and at the same time tapping into the ‘world within myself’ through engaging in regular yoga, meditation and service to others. After graduating university in ‘78 and having embraced and adopted...

Some are being tested more than others.... Many are not so fortunate to have methods to help them relax nor feeling like they can slow down a bit to better handle all of the stressors that have been accumulating for more than a year now. Many are still out of work and have families to feed. Many more are challenged to take care of their employees, when businesses have been closed. Mothers and fathers may have children at home or are choosing to have them learn remotely and are doing their best to help their kids plug-in virtually, and many do not...

For more than 40 years I’ve been a full-time knife, sword and Kirpan maker, as well as a jewelry designer and manufacturer. I studied intensively for 6 years, beginning in 1972, at a university in upstate New York with 2 master gold and silversmiths as well as with very capable graduate students. After graduation, I visited a number of the highest regarded people alive making knives and swords of various types. I personally train all of the people at the factories who make things for us by going to these various places in the world. (There have been some delays...

In our lifetime, I don’t believe any of us have seen circumstances as unusual as are being brought to us presently. From Covid-19 to racial and gender injustices, to the greed and sexual/power abuses that are way too prevalent worldwide by individuals and corporations, the challenges many, if not most face are not small. So what can you and I do in the face of these current realities and injustices? Certainly exercise caution and preventative measures around anything to do with the pandemic. And then we can speak up or do something when it may serve well! If you are a...
