We can put optics and lights in pistols and still get holsters to work.
>destroying a 4.5 billion years meteorite to make this
Unironically the best use for this sword is for its maker to kill himself using it.
4.5 billion is the age of the Solar system, we have rocks "younger" than 4.5 billion because of our active tectonic plates sinking rock into the mantle and then resolidifying into vulcanic or plutonic rocks. But 4.5 billion years old is essentially the age of everything in the Solar system.
Yeah, and we are all made of stardust, I know, that's fantastic, but then if every single atom around is 4.5 billions years old, why didn't he just use normal iron instead of what was basically an untouched artifact from that time?
This is the equivalent of him bubba'ing a Charleville 1763 musket offered to Georges Washington by Lafayette while yelling >Bro for real that boomer gat is sus let's add an ACOG scope and some MLOK quad rails bro! No cap, it's bussin!
I mean wtf
man, I sure hope he checked to make sure that meteorite had no scientific value before he destroyed it
Iron core meteorites are typically considered priceless within the space science community because of how rare they are and how much information they contain
We have plenty of meteorites on earth, they fall straight out of the sky. This probably cost $500 for the metal itself

well i took a closer look, the blade is apprently called nebula
the meteorite was the muonionalusta meteorite so it appears to have been well studied although only a few fragments of it remain, so destroying parts may make further study more difficult
the opals are indeed embedded in the blade
the handle is not actualy linked to the blade with gold, the handle section contains a lot of gold, so the structual integrity depends how far down does the gold go
there are indeed delaminations on the top of the blade
the handle is very square so it has poor erganomics
you can put lipstick on a pig but its still a pig, and this is just a nice looking pig,
there is no doubt some artistry in the blade, but the design is too cluttered there is too much going on, the actual quality of the blade is poor along with poor erganomics
i have had a look at his other work and he seems to be an artist who makes knives out of meteorites and fossils, some of them do actually have gold in structurally important positions
>The iron crystals on this meteorite have perfectly symmetrical octahedral molecular patterns. These natural patterns often disappear during the fire-forging process, but Dare says he has found a way to keep them.
Oh never mind he's retarded
>meteorite >opal >mammoth tooth >gold
What a complete waste of resources. It's downright disrespectful to the materials to use them to make this gaudy ugly ass butter knife. A fucking mammoth tooth for this shit? Really?
this thing is just going to break apart when it hits something,
the opals appear to be within the blade which would lead to structual weekness
gold appears to be conecting the blade to the handle, gold is very soft
i think i can also see a delamination on the right image

Unlike the retards ITT I checked him out, it's just a zoomer grifter on Instagram making gaudy kitchen knifes and a few other variations of pushknifes and other shit.
Plus the materials he uses are not as rare as he makes it seem don't know why the boomer fudds are losing their minds itt.
Props to the kid for making cash without whoring himself on a video platform even if he makes expensive ugly wall hanger shit.
Meteoric iron has some real issues since it has so much nickel and other metals mixed in. It's way more brittle than you would probably think at first, still it's not terrible for forging in a primitive context since you don't have to smelt it like an iron ore from the ground first.
I would not want to face the wielder of this because they'd be some retard sephroth wannabe with too much money and delusion and violent urges and no taste.
its not actually damasus steel, its pattern welding, some knife seller in the 70s sold his pattern welded knives and called it damascus and the name caught on
Do consoomers really? Why not appreciate the beauty of the meteorite as it is instead of mashing it down and destroying its natural crystalline pattern to turn it into an overpriced kitchen utensil?
honestly i welcome threads like this with open arms. way more interesting than talking about guntuber opinions or rehashing the same tired dabates about which slightly different service rifle is better
Looks awful
cunt.

You mean ordinary non-rustless iron?
Would have been better if his design cues did not come from Bud-K
Good fucking luck with a sheath with all the stones set in the blade

you all talking mad shit but if you'd presented that as a gift to gengis khan he'd give you a ring off his own hand.
>you all talking mad shit but if you'd presented that as a gift to natives they'd give you an island from their own land.
Genghis Khan was a tasteless churka, of course he'd love gaudy shit like this.
What a fag
it is actuall quite hideous, its like one of those things where people add a bunch of stuff to a cooking dish and it comes out awful
is it meant to be a flyssa?

Do zoomers really? Why not make something useful and actually beautiful with your meteorite?
