blank knife blade meteorite
Knife blade blank meteorite with 1095 steel edge. 2,1 oz. overall 6 inches, blade 3 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches. Seymchan found in Russian 1967, a good knife making meteorite with good patterning. Meteorite does not make a good functional knife, to much nickel and to brittle. They usually just look nice. I weld a good knife 1095 steel to the edge for a functional knife. Cannot overheat the meteorite or patterning goes away so I use copper at 200 degrees cooler. Holds up fine, been testing these blades. Mostly finished hard sharp ready to use. You can shine it up more if you like. Keep in mind it is best not to have to re-etch the meteorite it's tricky. Since I have copper in it. there are secrets to etching. Very unique blade no one I know uses copper in steel. It's taken 20 years to perfect how to do this. Keep in mind on the price, raw meteorite is spendy. This was an over $100 raw slice to begin with. You should have a $700 plus value finished knife when done.
