[TheForge] Meteoric iron

[Chuck Robinson]

When my customer requests meteorite in a knife, I forge it into a damascus
pattern with medium carbon steel, and make the hilt and pommel with it.
It's best not to use it in the blade except maybe in mosaic damascus, as a
small portion of the pattern, in a non critical area of the blade.
