JP Bladesmithing is the shop of Jason Potts, a Columbus, Georgia knifemaker turning out handcrafted fixed blades and swords since 2018. The focus is hard-use everyday carry, built around a simple promise to be prepared for wherever your adventure takes you.
The work leans utilitarian rather than flashy. These are hand-fashioned knives offered at a fair price for the quality, with clean grinds and minimalist kydex sheaths often set up for inside-the-waistband carry, the kind of practical detail that signals a maker who actually carries what he builds. Reviewers have singled out Potts's EDC fixed blades for hitting the sweet spot between a blade big enough to do real work and one thin enough to disappear in the pocket.
Demand has caught up with the reputation. The shop regularly closes its books to clear a backlog of orders, and it brought its latest work to Blade Show 2026. Alongside the everyday carry knives, Potts also takes on larger builds, including handcrafted swords.
