Ben Potter bladesmith - worth a look!

Post by Peter Remling »

I saw a link to Ben Potter's site due to a post showing a new seax. The post and tutorial are worth a look.

Yeah, I think Ben does an awesome job. I'd love to be able to buy that knife. I would like to see more of his work.

Ben notified me that he is thinking of dropping the price on the knife. I'd LOVE to get it, but with the layoff, that's not a possibility at this time. So I told him I'd let everyone know about the knife.

Now I'm gonna have to watch that knife like a hawk. If he drops the price enough I'll have to snatch her up.

The Fierce Friend knife looks REALLY cool, but is also REALLY expensive...there's no way I'm paying $900 for a knife, when I could get a Saluki bow for almost $200 less...

Ben just dropped the prices on his available knives. He really does outstanding work. I'm trying to swing that Filipino Bolo on his site.
