Meteorite Damascus Knives by Neilson's Mountain Hollow
I was contacted by Keith and Dana of KD Meteorite about making meteorite damascus knives but, since I tend to like doing things a bit different, we talked about taking meteorite shavings and mixing those with powdered steel for a new affect and a fully functional knife blade as opposed to a "decorative" (ugh!) piece. These knives came out great after testing and the "cool" factor is certainly there, plus we are coming up with more ideas/patterns constantly. If you have an interest in a knife who's soul came from outer space to be used on Earth, keep looking here, we're going to be doing some wild stuff.
I'm making the knives and Keith and Dana of KD Meteorites will have and be selling these pieces so....
