THANK YOU, SPONSORS! 🧡
If you’ve ever seen (or won) a prize at a Steel Jam, most likely that prize was available to you because a company in the HEMA community saw fit to off it as a donation, or for a discount. Events like ours can offer such awards because these companies go out of their way to (and their own pockets) to help make tournaments what they are, because they love and value HEMA and its participants.
STEEL JAM IS DEEPLY APPRECIATIVE OF OUR SPONSORS

Since 2011, Sam and his crew, who share the deep love for all things swords, keep Castille Armory moving forward. Because quality and attention to detail are everything in a niche market, everyone who works at Castille Armory also fences—mostly because we love to—but it’s that hands-on approach that means we designed your sword as if it were our own. If it’s not good enough for us to use in tournament, it’s not good enough for you.
