Midnight

Midnight folding knife (click for larger image)
This folder, titled "Midnight" has been my most popular knife.  "Midnight" features a  hand forged damascus blade in the san-mai style. It consists of 80 alternating layers of iron meteorite and 1084 steel laminated on either side of an 15N20 steel core.  The liners are titanium, and both the blade and liners are extensively file worked.

The bolsters are made from Gibeon nickel-iron meteorite which is acid etched to reveal the beautiful widmanstatten pattern seen only in meteorites. Widmanstatten patterns develop during the slow cooling  of the iron core of a planetoid (asteroid).  The handles are diamond cut from Renfrow stony meteorite.  This meteorite exhibits a black stone matrix flecked with bright nickel inclusions, reminiscent of a starry sky.  The spine and thumb-bob are inlayed with Albin stony-iron meteorite.  This rare and fragile meteorite forms as molten nickel-iron flows around emerald green olivine crystals.
