I wouldn't mind experimenting with it further, but yes, it is pretty pricey :(

yup, you are correct on all of those :) That steel powder is a big help to fill in the gaps if I use weird shapes and prevent cold shuts.

Next day I welded a piece of rebar to the canister for easier handling. Fired up the forge and when the canister soaker up enough heat, I started bashing it. Removed the walls of the canister. And its sides the pieces of the meteorite were still visible so I decided to strengthen it temporarily...

Glad you like my work! :D I didn't think that someone might be interested in the ins and outs of making it. Thank you for asking! I did make some wip pics of the process for my customer. So, a gentleman sent me a mail one day, if I would be interested in making such a knife. Of course I...

you're welcome :)

Indeed sounds like a worthy a winter project :D If you use extra low viscosity resin with a long hardening time for the stabilization, you won't need a pressure chamber either, it will find its way to every cavity eventually. Just top it up regularly. Have fun!

Thanks a lot! :) Yeah, you can choose bits which doesn't need stabilization, but in that case you must throw out a lot of the middle sections, because they are too spongy. And I hate to waste. :D

Thanks a lot :) No, that is also antler, the hard part of its wall

Skinner It is 21.5 cm / 8.5 inch long, the blade is 10 cm/ 4 inch long. I hand forged it from 5160 steel. The handle is made of stabilized deer antler, and wenge. The sheath is made of 4 mm/ 0.15 inch thick, sturdy cowhide.

Thanks a lot! :) Yes, I can attest to that one. The splintery part and the horrible dust is a pain in the ass :D but the finished aspect and its toughness sure pays back all the effort.
