Heres one I made this month. It was a gift for a good friend..

We forged the blade from a Meteorite. The bolsters are a from a slice of the same Meteorite. Handle is Ironwood burl

Im very proud of this piece, sry about the pictures. I finished this one at 2:30 AM.. Then handed to my friend that night. so I didnt get to take good pics of it.. Im planning on send it out for professional photographs after the new year!

Thanks for checking out our work, Comment and critiques welcomed.

VERY cool!! funny last night... I was looking at an old blade mag and had the article of Bill Moran and his bowie forged of W2 and meteorite was in it. I thought how cool it was and actually was checking to see how much it would cost to buy a piece big enough for a knife!! Then I saw this post!!

very interesting....how hard was it to forge the piece you had?? is it mixed with other steels?? any concerns Vs. regular steel?

This one really turned out great IMO. I cant wait to get the pro photos!! These are OK but dont do this one justice.
