Here's a process showing how I made this blade forged with a 4.5 billion year old meteorite iron integrated into the blade. The meteorite iron I used is Muonionalusta meteorite iron that is found near the small village of Kitkiöjärvi, Sweden, which was discovered in 1906. It has survived nearly 4 ice ages, and is dated to be one of the oldest meteorites ever recorded. 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 these blades 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 steel (or pattern-welded steel) into a pattern that maximizes the strength of the blade.
