It's not for me- it's for a customer. She bought it with intentions of
making it into a knife- it's from the Nantan, China meteor strike.

Since I've never played with meteor iron, I'm willing to try- no sentiment
in it for me.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
