I forged an ancient meteorite into this…

Here's a process showing how I reveal the pattern in this blade forged from thousands of layers of alloys fused together to create this pattern, in which the acid exposes the intricate damascus steel pattern I forged with a 4.5 billion year old meteorite iron integrated into the blade.

The meteorite iron I used is Muonionalusta meteorite iron that comes from near the small village of Kitkiöjärvi, which was discovered in 1906. It has survived nearly 4 ice ages, and is dated to be one of the oldest meteorites ever recorded. Dating to be older than the Earth itself, it comes from a planetoid that was once apart of the parent body of our solar system.

Meteorite iron, naturally, is a very brittle and fragile iron. The reason being is partly due to its high impurities content, with little to no carbon or manganese... To combat that, I essentially needed to find a way to forge this blade with meteorite, whilst still maintaining a strong, durable and sharp integrity of the blade. To do this, I used high-carbon steel 15n20/ 1084, which I forged and crafted the layers of the damascus steel (or pattern-welded steel) into a mosaic pattern that would look very organic, whilst still preserving the natural Widmanstatten structure of the meteorite. This structure is the crystal formation of the meteorite iron molecularly separating the iron from the nickel, formed from cooling over billions of years in the vacuum of space. This pattern cannot be replicated by any technological process in our lifetime, and our main goal was to preserve this to be as natural as possible.

Isn't it very hard to make something out of meteorite? With all the impurities and things not welding and so on... I dunno tho, Alex Steel was having a hard time.

Meteorite travelled for 4.5 billion years just to become a kitchen knife.💀

[smoresblocks]

Bro used a 4.5 billion year old meteorite to cut a Cucumber and a Tomato.

"From killing dinosours to cutting vegetables "

Meteorite come a long way

[snickers]

bro got his wife a kitchen knife as a present, what a man of culture.

[millbill]

Travels through universe for 4.5 BILLION years to become cucumber cutter.

[watermaloongames]

imagine drifting through space for billions of years just to cut up the dudes from veggie tales

[foxcrafter]

Made from the cosmos, Traveled across the galaxy for billions of years and ended up as a kitchen knife.

[dumdum]

How a world ending event turned into a kitchen knife 💀

[tetracut]

Bro really said to his wife
“Here’s your knife now go make me a sandwich”

[eldritchbeing]

Sokka had some left overs and made a space knife

[overforker]

“Honey I got you a custom made meteorite blade that’s 4.5 billion years old”

“Ohh… I got you a new phone case…”

[WalterJankees]

here is a knife, crafted from a meteorite billions of years old, now TO THE KITCHEN

[vansonharwood]

Blud went from killing dinosaurs to killing tomatoes 💀💀💀

[palebluedot]

That knife is probably thinking of all the life choices it made to end up here

[micahromani]

Sokka entered the chat, and immediately left because it wasn't a space sword...

[adb]

Bro turned a relic of our universe into a kitchen appliance 💀💀

[cushisntfunny]

*gives wife kitchen knife*

husband: *now clean it and make me food*

This Guy: *Lets turn it into a Knife*

[romanhines]

Missed chance to make a sword. Could’ve been a real life meteorite sword
