The article from Blade Magazine about this knife: blademag.com/k...
The meteorite used is certified with authenticity, for more information you can visit here: en.wikipedia.o...
This knife is one of the pieces I'm most proud of! The blade has been forged from o1 tool steel and Muonionalusta meteorite in a San-Mai construction. The pattern you see on the blade (in the lighter areas) is not scratches nor a pattern created from the acid. It is the 100% natural crystalline structure in the meteorite between the nickel/ iron called Widmanstätten, in which the pattern has cooled down from millions of sides to only 8 sides. The pattern has been revealed by submerging it into Ferric Chloride to darken the carbon in the steel, thus revealing the pattern. The handle is Wooly Mammoth tooth from Alaska, and to top it off there's 24k gold fused to the blade! It's found itself in one of the most famous knife magazines, Blade Magazine, and has gotten a lot of attention and support from the materials used for it. Can't be happier with this piece, I look forward to many more in the future.
This knife is sold! If you're interested in buying one, please send me an email at [e-mail] or visit my Instagram @tristandareofficial for updates on what will be available!

I have a feeling that knife would be a family heirloom, beautiful craftsmanship

[@Fallenidk3465]

Nope he dissolved it in acid

[@KePzez]

@@Fallenidk3465 I guess that vat of acid would be the family heirloom

[@rich1051414]

Family heirloom of a king maybe. Meteorites were the only steel that existed before deep into the iron age. Before that, meteorites were forged into weapons by the worlds best blacksmiths for royalty. Only certain meteorites were capable of forging. I think a dagger was the largest example ever found, which was owned by Tutankhamun, the egyptian pharoh.

[@TheDJOblivion]

The jump in talent/skill from this to "nebula" is truly astonishing. Well done.

that is the most beautiful knife i’ve ever seen

[@chrisleigh777]

Imagine a sword made from that ! That would be one mythical sword 🗡️ perhaps that's how an ancient smith crafted the Excalibur from a meteor that people saw fall from the heavens and found

[@csusNine]

I would love to own a sword made out of space materials, but would probably be very expensive tho

[@justinkase7307]

That's exactly what happened

[@justinkase7307]

It was made from a comet or that big word

[@dawsonmac519]

Your so skilled, those little grooves on the flat parts of the blade are amazing. That blade should be in a museum or auctioned for millions.

[@carpinado3089]

Millions is a little far fetched lmao

[@kevindcruz269]

Beautiful masterpiece you're a true craftsman

[@lifeordeath1908]

Beautiful piece I found this channel by an article done 7 months ago, I’ve been researching whether someone has made a 100% meteorite blade because most of them are a mix between meteorite and Damascus. One thing the article stated was meteorites lose their pattern forever if they hit over 900 degrees Fahrenheit, in the video it shows your piece becoming red hot which is more then 900 degrees Fahrenheit how did you manage to have the meteorite with its natural pattern?

[@TristanDare]

Most of the time, no... Meteorite blades aren't usually done with 100% meteorite because of how soft they are, they don't hold an edge very well. Although, it's 100% possible and has been done before! But i have made a few daggers before, but not a sword. Hopefully soon i will, and it will likely be from this same meteorite as well.

[@jasonbell8515]

As for the temperature thing, no. Just no. A meteorite is several thousand degrees when it lands. Most craters, in fact, are just patches where the planet got so hot, it vaporized. If the pattern can survive *that*, an oven won’t do anything.

[@garethbaus5471]

The pattern of a meteorite is actually an artifact of how hot it is upon impact, the slow cooling from a liquid state causes the growth of dendrites. With enough heat you can destroy that type of pattern, but it is fairly difficult.

[@inchaverde311]

Bro you are fucking awesome. People like you inspire me to do much more with life .

[@Pyxe_ZA]

Legend has it, that meteorite killed that very mammoth

[@xxitz_pr0gxx631]

I LOVE IT! I used to be a die hard Sharpie fan, but now I use the Milwaukee Inkz-all. It is such a superior marker. If you forget to put the cap on and leave it overnight, it will still work in the morning!

[@Someone90456]

Aww so lucky! I wish I had this! Probably the #1 coolest thing I have seen this year and it just started! Awesome! I hope I can one day learn to do stuff just like this.

"Only 40 fragments are known" *proceeds to buy one* How expensive Was it? Considering only 40 exist, it would be very expensive

[@TristanDare]

It can cost upwards of $1.25-$3.25 per gram 😅

[@yummothecat]

@Tristan Dare nice video and incredible masterpiece you made. One question: where did you buy the piece of meteorit? I suppose, its very very expensive, isnt it?

[@TristanDare]

Thank you! It depends, they can be quite pricey for some of them. I have various suppliers across the world where I gather my meteorites from, some of which dig them up themselves

[@shawntan2360]

Hmm meteorite metal varies throughout the piece. Do you face situations where a seam is brittle and snaps off while working on the piece?

[@TristanDare]

Always! I run into issues quite a bit with meteorite that results in failed blades. Just takes perfect process and knowing how to utilize the material!

[@lifeordeath1908]

Hey I edited my last comment I had a few more questions and I revised it. In the article it had stated was that meteorites lose their pattern forever after hitting past 900 degrees Fahrenheit, in the video it shows you getting the meteorite red hot which is more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit. How did you manage to have the meteorite with its natural pattern? Also did you make your blade out of 100% meteorite?

[@TristanDare]

Yeah so what I’ve discovered is a technique to reduce the amount of pattern you lose. You can see in the end result it looked like it was going a little more grey, and the pattern looked a little blended? As opposed to actual meteorite that hasn’t been forged, how crisp that pattern is? That’s why, because it’s already having issues and the carbon is trying to disperse. And that’s where it’s taken me a decent amount of time to try and figure out a way to forge it but reduce the amount of carbon dispersion as much as possible, as well as maintain it from cracking, stretching faster than the steel which means you will get cold shuts, delaminating, and thick scale and decarb on the surface. Definitely one of the worst metals to forge, it’s very similar to cast iron sometimes.

[@crazyjay6331]

@@TristanDare would it work better in a coal/charcoal forge? or would adding carbon not help with the pattern?

[@jeb197]

@@TristanDare is that why there's a lot of grinder work instead of just more heat&pound forging ?

[@TristanDare]

@@jeb197 Partly, but you also shouldn’t forge a San-Mai construction into the shape of the blade. This is basically a 3-part construction, with the hard steel in the middle of the sandwich, and if you forge the shape of the blade with this construction you have a chance of distorting that sandwich and causing the softer steel (the meteorite) to become part of the cutting edge. So if it were a different Damascus pattern, which I do often now days, forging to shape is better ✌️
