A French blacksmith who did this knife using a meteorite and mammoth ivory.
Edit: a bit more details on the blade: he melted the meteorite himself, however since the meteorite did not have any carbon and had a really high nickel content or would have make a terrible steel so he added a bit of carbon and some raw iron do dilute the nickel.
Except for that the blade is entirely made from the meteorite.

It’s a beautiful blade, but it SICKENS me a mammoth had to be killed to make this.
BE the change you want to see 🌟
Ivory comes from a lot of things, but i doubt this came from an extinct animal one that went extinct durong the fucking bronze age.
Also the ivory probably came from like a narwhal or whale or something.
Here’s the page where the artist mentions the mammoth Ivory: https://web.archive.org/web/20081113092306/http://www.elfic.fr/scrimpages/alchimie/albedo.htm
Here’s a page where you can buy some mammoth ivory: https://arcticantiques.com/
Fuck guess it was made of mammoth ivory, guess i just assumed most of it had rotted away by now. Which still shows my removedation since im very well aware there are ivory artifacts found in europe dated in the tens of theousands of years.
Don’t sweat it. Until those post I had never considered the possibility of mammoth ivory being a thing. In my head, ivory is very much a modern thing, that comes only from elephants, even though I know better
Mammoth ivory is actually quite easy to find online.
There is a lot of mammoth ivory found in Siberia. Especially in the area where the permafrost is melting locals people are finding a lot of mammoth remains apparently.
Same, and it’s a long process having to kill the mammoth, drag it back, cut the ivory … All of that for a knife.
Mammoths have been extinct for thousands of years…
That’s the joke.
Are we still doing “woosh” here?
Oh the calamity!
♥️ love that
Hmmm. I ‘m going to stat this motherfucker out.
Plus 3 all outsider bane , shiftsilver, longsword. While the sword is drawn it, acts as a continual zone of truth. ( the user is not immune.)
The user is also continually protected from good and evil.
Anyone being stabbed with the Sword who is possessed by some kind of illusion, or delusion has it removed, including if it was voluntarily placed on them.
If the sword is used to attack, someone who is some kind of living lie, they must roll wisdom save or be destroyed. Even so they take triple damage.
( both of the false and true hydras would need to watch out)

Where do you even go to dig your own iron.
An area with plenty of iron ores such as pyrite or magnetite
But will it keel?
