    I’m also sharing this project:

    A French blacksmith who did this knife using a meteorite and mammoth ivory.

    Alchimie

    Edit: a bit more details on the blade: he melted the meteorite himself, however since the meteorite did not have any carbon and had a really high nickel content or would have make a terrible steel so he added a bit of carbon and some raw iron do dilute the nickel.

    Except for that the blade is entirely made from the meteorite.

      It’s a beautiful blade, but it SICKENS me a mammoth had to be killed to make this.
