Meteorite Damascus Knife in my Collection

[East_TN_Patriot]

I've had this knife for a few years and pulled it out today while going through my gun safe.  Since I had it out, I thought I'd share some pics of it.  

It is a handcrafted knife made by Ken Largin of Kelgin Fine Cutlery.  It's made with a Damascus steel he had made using material from the Campo del Cielo meteorite that landed in Argentina around 5,000 years ago.  The handle is reconstituted stone and springbok horn with an ammonite buttcap.  There is a small piece of the meteorite in the photos next to the blade.  Overall length is about 8 inches and the blade is about 3.75" long.  

I received it in trade for some custom sheath work, but the funny thing is that I never got around to making a sheath for it.  Ah, well... Like the old saying goes, the cobbler's children have no shoes.

Yup, it's a cool knife.  I've thought about selling it a couple of times, but it's such a unique piece of art, I just haven't been able to let go of it.  I really need to find a way to properly display it instead of keeping it tucked away in my gun safe.
