I love to watch someone who is a master at their craft. This guy is at the top of knife making. And then he uses a meteorite to make an amazing knife. I find the Widmanstätten pattern in meteorite metal wonderful, but the damascus look is great too.
I enjoyed this (and was quite envious of all the equipment and tools!) and hope you do too

That was definitely worth watching. It was like what I imagine Valyrian steel being like. I found his website and it looks like he auctions his knives. Another article said that he's gotten $32,200 for a knife. I thInk I'll stick with my old, dull knives.

Awesome. True blade nut here. Any of you see the Damascus episode in the Forged in Fire series? I used to collect Indonesian Kris, though I sold them all, and many of those Damascus style blades were supposed to have contained nickel/iron from meteorites too. Truly a beautiful style of forged blades....Mel

That is just so cool! I was mesmerized watching it! What a gorgeous knife too! The other thing I liked is that he enjoys it so much!
