On st Patrick's day we announced a new collaboration project we are doing with our good friend Ben Potter.
Check it out:

As of now the billet which was forge welded by Andy has been drawn out to sword profile shape, and is now ready for heat treatment.
We plan on crafting the blade and then letting Ben take over from there with his devilish work.
The sketch above is what I made just as a springboard, but I for one am looking forward to letting Ben go wild and give this sword character.

And not being a commission Ben will be selling this on a first come first serve basis.

keep an eye out of that Bladesmiths forum thread to track the progress!

Thanks for looking
