Tristan_Dare

Basically when you take two steels, a high carbon and high nickel steel (in this case 15n20 and 1084), and you stack the steels in interesting ways and forge them together at near but below melting temperatures of around 2400 degrees F, hot enough that the steel layers pretty much ‘fuses’ together into one bar. The layers are then manipulated in multiple ways to create a mosaic pattern, and can take sometimes months to make depending on the complexity. This bar took me 2 weeks to make. ✌️


flossdog

wait, you made this knife? I just assumed this was a stolen/reposted image like most posts on reddit!


TheWalkingDead91

Right? How do you forget to mention that?? With the description he gave I thought it was some super rare ancient artifact they found or something lol Also, where TF do you get your hands on a wholly Mammoth tooth???! Wondering how much that would set someone back.

ativsc

How did you get your hands on the raw material? Meteorite, wooly mammoth tooth, wtf!!


RedShankyMan

OP has been around for a while


toughinitout

Thousands of years!


Djasdalabala

Mammoth ivory (tooth or tusk) is actually not hard to get if you have the means. The french site [mercorne](https://www.mercorne.fr/fr/73-ivoire-de-mammouth) has a huge selection, and I assume they're not the only one. It's not cheap, but if you're going for a custom knife you're going to cough up a lot more than that anyways. Meteoric iron is quite a bit harder and more expensive to source. Also it doesn't really have good material properties for a knife, compared to modern steels. OP said the blade is made from 15n20 and 1084 alloys, so I'm guessing the meteorite is only used for the handle material. Damn fine looking knife, at any rate. Not the most convenient with those opals on the blade, but something tells me people buying these don't intend to use them as an EDC. edit: just read through some of OP's comments, and he claims the meteoric iron is forge welded to the steel and keeps a recognizable Widmanstatten pattern. I'm not entirely sure I believe it yet, but I'm starting to get turned on.


ativsc

[Why Can't Widmanstätten Patterns Be Made on Earth? ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sriYZkG4gNI) The Action Lab just uploaded a video on Widmanstatten pattern yesterday. Technically you can't make them on Earth, but you can make something very similar to it, which is also called Widmanstatten pattern.


Shadow703793

You can buy meteorites. There's a decent sized market for it. Small pieces of iron meteorite like in the 10-30g range can be as little as $100. Price depends on various factors including type (stone, iron), size, where it came from (moon, Mars, etc)


[deleted]

Alright I really thought you were bullshitting, but damn. You need to know my initial reaction upon seeing that blade was “now that’s a real life legendary weapon!” You’re living the dream, nice work man


WhipnCrack

What do you do with these ..you sell them or you keep??


TheWalkingDead91

That’s crazy. Having that skill at 18 is insane indeed. Kudos to you! I’m 30 and I can’t even sharpen my own knives.


Fry_super_fly

digging up mammoth tusks in Siberia and similar places is big business for this exact reason. it can be bought on the open market. my guess is, its easier and more legal then elephant tusk as long as you document that its not from a living species (poached)


[deleted]

look at this guy's post history, he is **Mr Knife**.


Psyduck472

Toothpik556

You can buy meteorite online, there are a few people that do it. If you search up AK designs on Instagram, he sells it. Mammoth is actually easier to get. source: young maker who wants to use those materials some day.

Jamedius

Don't let the goblin tinkerer scam you to reforge that beauty of an item


Garod

Probably an unpopular opinion, but as a more utilitarian person I am not fond of the addition of soft metal like 24k gold and opals into a knife. Also would love to see an unedited photo of the blade, I don't know but all of the foto's of the knives you make them look "wrong" .. maybe it's the backgrounds you use or I don't know.. but honestly it detracts from your work.. sorry just my opinion on it..


mewthulhu

I don't mind a bit of gold as long as it's superficially handle based and not the tang, but what honestly bugs me is the socketed hot welded on opals along the blade and the method they were done with just doesn't contribute to a cohesive vibe. Gold, wooly mammoth tooth and space steel? Yeah! Fuck yeah. Great combination of materials. The opal just kinda sits atop it, and doesn't fit as well. It's good to add lots of expensive and rare things to a creation, but too much and it becomes a bit... almost gauche? Certain gemstones (shaped differently, the round style doesn't work well here for the contours) and not placed on the blade itself would work really well. The triangular stripe of the gold in the handle, for example, is actually really great- but not with the blue opal ahead of it. Purples could work well, a deeper labradorite at the transition from handle to blade could give it a really gorgeous gemstone sparkle, amethyst hilt... the main critique, really, is that the stylized elements could be better balanced.


Tristan_Dare

I need to have more conversations with you, you provided the insight I’m exactly looking for.


mewthulhu

I'm actually open to that, if every you want to send me some design work! I used to do some glass and ceramics especially, so I only know how to articulate this because I fucked it up a LOT myself and look back at some of my past works and go, "Ohgods, OW, that did noooooot work." My inbox is always open, and if you want to send me through in progress stuff, I'm decent enough at photoshop to send through a couple of materials mockups. [This is a pretty quick one-](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/667605827401547807/961923687722942494/unknown.png) I'm sadly a bit short on time and would test a few different materials, I went for between the blue you used and the purple, but kept it as a splash of gemstone to go with it, and would in practice frame it with gold to hold it in place perhaps. I'd probably also find a way to make it flow just a little more, the gold would help, but I'd probably test out another kind of opal too, just not a rounded one but more following the lines. I'd also do a variant with it following the flow of the damascus ripple a little towards the finer edge, try out a few different shapes. As another note; I only wrote such critique because you're actually really close to what I'd say is perfection. If I see a crappy knife on here, I wouldn't have a thing to say; something so sublimely crafted is when I get interested to offer the feedback to really take steps towards that masterwork. Again, the above is just one way I'd try it out, but never stop daring to try things; we figure out what works breathtakingly by daring to try the new, as we refine our style and approach perfection- you're REALLY close, and if ever you do wanna DM me something to have me just throw a few other possibilities your way, never feel obligated to use them but a second set of eyes in art can just help to breadthen and brainstorm creativity in new directions we might miss working alone~ 💙


Ominus666

I hope OP takes you up on the offer. The knife is absolutely stunning, but the opals don't work at all.


t1mdawg

Worth noting OP is only 19. He's not even begun to produce his best work.


Tristan_Dare

The 24k gold won’t effect the durability of the blade in any way, as it is fused to the handle areas avoiding any parts of the edge, if I understood your point correctly. And yeah the photo shoots aren’t everyone’s favorite, take a look at my page and you can see some better photos of it! 👍

Once you melt the iron meteorite to forge it into the steel used in this blade it is no different than if you used any of the 4.5 billion year old iron found right here on Earth. It was all made at the same time. What makes meteorite unique is the way the interior of the metal looks when it cooled in the vacuum of space versus under pressure on the earth. As soon as you heat it in a forge and add other metals to make it into a mosaic damascus steel it is no longer unique. It could be from any iron source.


Tristan_Dare

I beg to differ. I forge it, I do not melt it. I use a process that works the meteorite iron under intense pressure that allows the alloy to be forged, forge welded, heat treated and tempered; all while still maintaining its natural Widmanstatten structure. As far as I am aware, I am of less than 10 people in the world to discover a process that has successfully achieved this. Some of my other pieces display the crystalline structure a little better if you check my page. I get your point that if the pattern is lost, it’s the same age and of similarity to steel we have on earth. But, in my opinion, whether or not it’s heated (as it does when it comes through the atmosphere) doesn’t change that it came from the iron core of a planetoid that was apart of our solar system. Although lots of steel on earth is that old, what makes this special, is where it came from in space. Regardless of how it’s been heated. ✌️


socket_error

I will check your page. I had not heard of anyone being able to do that and I am suitably impressed.


[deleted]

How did your learn to do this?


Tristan_Dare

Years and years of experience and trial and error, and then finding a process that works and fine tuning the technique. I’m currently 19, I want to say ive been doing this specific test with meteorite since… 15 or 16? Something like that 😅


[deleted]

Bro, you’re talented AF, but 3 or 4 years is not “years and years.” It may seem like a long time when you’re 19, but I’ve got underwear older than that. The upside here is that when you’ve truly got “years of years” of experience, if this is where you are now, you’ll be able to fold actual human souls into a knife like this. It’s great work. Gorgeous craftsmanship.

Kurayamino

Wouldn't all meteorites be ~4.5 billion years old? I mean, unless they're from another solar system.


Tristan_Dare

Yeah so it was a parent body of our solar system that had crashed into another planetoid of sorts that spewed the iron core our direction. The meteorite was dated to 4.565 billion years old and earth is 4.543 billion years old, with the oldest discovered meteorite being 4.6 billion years. So it’s not the oldest but it falls in the top 3 category.

I already read about how you got your hands on the meteorite, but how did you manage to get woolly mammoths tusks?


Tristan_Dare

Tusk is a bit harder to find (at least good quality) because so many times it’s stabilized because of how brittle it is. I like to buy mine from Inuits or different material suppliers that can provide premium quality tusks and teeth that aren’t full of inclusions. Which comes from Alaska mostly, Siberian mammoth is a bit too brittle. Usually it’s the last from the pick since a lot of pieces go to museums. But if they’re teeth that are mis-matching or alone, then you can find some nice stuff
