Benjamin Kamon with Full Intent

Ben Kamon is an incredible Bladesmith and is back for another episode. When it comes to well thought out designs and execution Ben is in rarified air. We had a great time catching u, talking about our experiences in metalshops, how they influenced our work today, social media and how it gets a bad rap, Plus Austrian cooking! We also covered a little weird Austrian News and cleared up the legality of passing wind in front of the police. Ben is the man and will be back!
