As the auction stated, this knife was made from one of the most commonly transformed meteorite to edged weapons (especially by the local natives)... the Gibeon nickel-iron Meteorite from Namibia, Africa. This meteorite is fairly malleable and easy to work with. If you were going to try this, this would be the meteorite I would suggest. There is a lot of history in edged weapons making with this one. Just heat and beat into shape.

I have even seen a local made spear tip that was polished and etched... that still had the Widmanstatten pattern! obviously, it was not forged as this knife was. The knife almost exibits pamor.
