Possible as his source says that it began with his uncle or father. What’s the earliest sample anyone has seen of a Pottenstein blade?
Are you able to tell me any more about my sample? Or where you’ve found information? The two books I listed are the only I’ve found thus far.
The Pottenstein blades seem far rarer than either the Fringian or Solingen examples. Treasures
